Focus on your core competency There has been much said & even more written about RXO, Inc.'s acquisition of Coyote Logistics. My good friend, Grace Sharkey 🚛🤖💙 wrote of the deal over the weekend. For those in the business, this deal comes as little surprise. It's no secret that UPS has struggled to make sense of the volatile world of the brokerage industry. When it's good, it's great, but when it's bad... it's really bad. And lately, it's been really bad. While leaders are tasked with unlocking new revenue, not all that glitters is gold. And oftentimes those same leaders make the case that an acquisition creates the magical formulae of 1 +1 = 3. So let's do the math: UPS bought Coyote Logistics $1.8 billion in 2015. RXO, Inc. will buy Coyote Logistics from UPS for $1.025 billion sometime in 2024. 9 years & nearly $1 billion (that's billion with a 'B') in value gone. This is not an aberration. Brokering freight is increasingly commoditized & the margins of 2015 will likely not materialize for some time. I believe that RXO, Inc. got a great deal. I believe Coyote Logistics is a great company. The deal makes sense, but the landscape is changing. 2H of 2024 is going to be very, very interesting. https://lnkd.in/gt9MGusT

The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) has announced that major National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) changes will take effect in the first quarter of 2025. The NMFTA is implementing a phased approach, with the first changes coming in 2025. Here's a summary: 1. Standardized density scale for LTL freight with no handling, stowability, and liability issues. 2. Unique identifiers for freight with special handling, stowability, or liability needs. 3. Condensed and modernized commodity listings. 4. Improved usability of the ClassIT classification tool. Click on the below story to access the NMFTA page regarding resources to learn more.

In 2025, major carriers like USPS, FedEx, UPS, and DHL are increasing shipping rates to address inflation, rising labor costs, and infrastructure needs. These changes aim for long-term sustainability but pose challenges for businesses reliant on shipping.

Data is pointing to tight airfreight capacity in Q4 2024, and shippers are worried about being able to move their cargo during peak season. A major factor is the continued red-hot ecommerce trade coming out of Asia Pacific. After what happened in Q4 2023, many shippers are planning ahead and trying to secure capacity now—but that comes with the worry of being locked into high costs in a volatile market. Companies should closely monitor capacity as the year continues. #thefreightarchitects #jaguarfreight #logistics
