Over the past few months, several critical trends have reshaped the trucking landscape:
Tariff Pressures on Freight Volumes The U.S. reintroduced tariffs on several key imports, causing uncertainty in the rail and trucking sectors. While some segments experienced dips, June’s freight volumes offer cautious optimism, hinting that a recession isn’t inevitable.
July Capacity Crunch: Fruits, Furniture & Horsepower The Southern U.S. produce season and booming household moves have tightened dry-van and reefer capacity. Open-deck demand is also up from harvesting equipment and flatbed freight, leading to higher rates.
Fleet Repair Innovation Tech platforms are raising significant capital to streamline fleet maintenance, a clear sign that fleet uptime is more crucial than ever.
🌟 How T. Disney is Responding
Strategic Routing & Planning Our team monitors shifting freight lanes daily. By pre-booking shipments and rerouting ahead of seasonal surges, we keep your materials moving, even when dry-van or flatbed rates spike.
Flexible Equipment Deployment We flex between refrigerated, dry-van, and open-deck trailers to match current demands. If the Southern produce season impacts dry-van supply, our fleet pivots smoothly to other equipment types to keep your supply chain robust.
Proactive Maintenance & Partnering We’ve revamped our maintenance protocols with digital scheduling, predictive diagnostics, and rapid-response mechanics. This ensures fewer breakdowns and quicker turnarounds, even under peak stress.
