Is The Freight Market Headed For a Crisis? What the LMI Says

The latest Logistics Managers’ Index report shows a tight freight market with near-record low transportation capacity, causing shippers to struggle and driving up prices, a trend not seen since 2022. Retailers are feeling more confident with consumer spending, but manufacturers remain cautious about the potential fallout. This tight market could lead to broader economic issues if transportation prices continue to surge, signaling a potential crisis in the freight sector that could impact supply chains and overall economic stability.
