ITS Logistics warns shippers budgeting flat face capacity reckoning

ITS Logistics executives are cautioning shippers about the looming challenges they'll face if they stick to flat budgets for 2026. With drivers leaving the industry, escalating fuel costs, and companies holding onto lean inventories, the combination could lead to significant disruptions in available capacity. This warning underscores the need for shippers to re-evaluate their strategies to avoid potential supply chain bottlenecks and increased costs as they adapt to these evolving conditions. It's a wake-up call for logistics planning in an increasingly volatile market.
