Today, we'll break down the real story behind short-term load surges, tightening capacity, and why the usual holiday bump isn't showing up this year. With truck posts down 26% and long-term demand still soft, we're heading into 2026 with stable pricing, flat margins, and a freight market that rewards consistency and data-driven strategy. Let's also discuss how falling truckload rates are reshaping the RFP process, why keeping 2026 pricing level with 2025 is the smartest move, how tech-driven automation is going to transform bid cycles sooner than most people think, the regulatory shake-ups around foreign CDLs and the potential impact on both trucking capacity and U.S. agriculture, and the need federalized CDL standards to protect safety without crippling the workforce!
