Shippers beware! The current buyer's market in trucking could be upended by an extreme hurricane season. ⛈️ Right now, shippers have the upper hand and are squeezing carriers for lower rates. This is putting a strain on carrier profitability. A bad hurricane season could disrupt the market and give carriers the upper hand. This could lead to "carrier revenge," where carriers significantly raise rates to compensate for lost profits. Stay tuned for more updates on the freight market!
