Current US trucking market conditions could be the calm before next year\u2019s storm, which could bring a major shift in capacity availability \u2013 as much as 10% either way — as a result of economic and regulatory forces, says Noel Perry, senior transportation economist at FTR.<\/p>\n
As reported by Truck News, Perry insists the trucking industry is currently experiencing a calm before next year\u2019s storm, which he says could \u00a0see capacity either drastically decreased by productivity-choking regulations or increased due to an incoming recession.<\/p>\n
Trucking could face an \u201cunprecedented range of outcomes\u201d over the next few years, he explains:<\/p>\n
\u201cA swing of just 5% is enough to dramatically impact pricing in the marketplace. A swing of 10% \u2013 that would be a disruptive event, for both transport executives and supply chain professionals. There will be companies with their heads stuck in the sand; you don\u2019t want to be one of those companies.\u201d<\/p>\n
FTR acknowledges the chances of a recession are increasing, due to bad economic news elsewhere in the world and a recovery that is \u201cclearly getting old,\u201d Truck News reports.<\/p>\n
However, the arrival of new safety regulations could push capacity utilization to 100%, giving carriers some welcomed pricing power and putting supply chain professionals in the hot seat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
