ACT Research's Denoyer looks at the state of the freight economy

What’s driving the next phase of the freight cycle—and what does it mean for your business? ACT Research Vice President and Senior Analyst Tim Denoyer joins Logistics Management’s Jeff Berman to discuss the forces shaping freight rates, capacity, and demand. Tim explains why tighter driver availability has helped push rates higher, how rising diesel costs could limit capacity returning to the market, and what improving volumes across truckload, LTL, and intermodal suggest about the recovery. The conversation also explores trade uncertainty, shifting import patterns, and the potential of AI and autonomous trucking. For shippers, carriers, brokers, and logistics leaders, this episode offers perspective on the market signals that matter for budgeting, procurement, and capacity planning.
