Predicting the Freight Market in 2023

InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast

As March rolls in, we’re beyond looking back at the past, instead, it’s important to assess where the market is now, and where it’s going. On our latest InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast, co-host Kevin asks InTek CEO (and co-host) Rick LaGore 5 questions about the state of the freight market for the next 9 months of 2023 regarding pricing, volume, capacity and more, and how inflation, gas prices, the pandemic and more factor in.

Then, we move into a discussion of freight and logistics news headlines, with more on inflation and supply chains, a Girl Scout cookie shortage and infrastructure spending in Georgia to support freight volume.
