Q3 Freight Market Forecast:
Can Cost Stability Continue?
10:00 a.m.–10:55 a.m. CDT
Freight transportation costs have remained stable for several quarters in a row, but this may not be the case for too much longer.
We’ve been in a shippers’ market since late 2022, but we’re seeing signs that a carrier’s market may be coming sooner rather than later. Whether or not freight volumes spike, capacity is leaving the market, setting up a potential supply and demand imbalance later in the year.
Join our panel of supply chain experts as they present our latest Coyote Curve® truckload spot rate index and discuss the trends that will shape the freight market in the second half of 2024. They’ll cover:
- Latest Coyote Curve index (spot truckload & contract rate forecast).
- North American freight market trends, including truckload, intermodal and LTL.
- Projections for the start of the next freight market cycle.
- An in-depth look at retail supply chain trends.
- Produce season trends and summer weather to watch.

- Getting buy-in for security best practices up and down your supply chain (including with vendors).
