Any near-term disruptions in the freight market are likely to be unexpected, as there is little evidence that conditions will change meaningfully over the next 30 days. September is often volatile, driven primarily by two factors: tropical weather, which is largely unpredictable, and surging long-haul demand, which data suggests is already moving through the country as inventories were pulled forward. Some freight is expected to shift back to trucking in the coming months, but this alone is unlikely to drive strong or sustained rate movements. Peak season still appears possible, barring further economic weakness. On the supply side, capacity reductions and thinner network buffers remain the market’s most significant vulnerabilities.
