Back It Up: June 2023 Market Report

As we reflect on the month of June, we can embrace the arrival of warm weather and the summer season. Logistics costs in the United States witnessed a significant increase in 2022 due to higher transportation expenses. This surge in costs presents challenges for businesses and reflects the impact of supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures. After a major structural issue caused by a tanker crash and explosion, I-95 in Philadelphia has reopened, providing relief to commuters, and restoring a crucial transportation route. President Biden’s infrastructure plan seeks to invest funding to modernize infrastructure, create jobs, and promote sustainable development, although it faces obstacles in gaining support and securement.

Additionally Continental Tires tests and develops technologies to enhance safety and efficiency. The freight industry sees three emerging trends: AI, paperless trade, and supply chain finance. Used Class 8 truck sales declined in May due to factors like chip shortages and supply chain disruptions, while recovery is anticipated.

Back It Up: May 2023 Market Report

Warm weather and summer are finally here, as we look back at the month of May. The US natural gas sector is removing rigs due to oversupply and falling prices, leading to reduced production and drilling, while the Alligator River Bridge in North Carolina is being converted to a fixed span, saving truckers costs and eliminating long detour. Truckers also plan to boycott freight transportation to Florida, opposing the state’s law on migrants that invalidates out-of-state driver’s licenses and mandates work authorization verifications.

Additionally, truck drivers in PA face a severe shortage of safe parking spaces, making it one of the most challenging states for finding reliable parking. A new battery swapping company has quietly deployed quick charging swap stations in the Bay Area, offering an effective alternative for ride sharing and delivery fleets without home charging capabilities. As May comes to a close, this dynamic industry continues to experience daily progress and ongoing advancements.
