Fireside Chat: Shipping rates still low, says KCH Transportation director of pricing

DETAILS: Henry Byers, Director of Pricing at KCH Transportation joins us to talk about what to watch for in 2025 including pricing trends, trucking capacity and macroeconomic impacts.

"I think overall, as far as rates are concerned, it seems to me that a lot of shippers are still securing really unrealistically low rates. I think there's still people in the brokerage landscape -- or companies in the brokerage landscape, I should say -- asset-based carriers potentially still pricing freight really close to where the spot market currently is. It seems to me that if the market were to truly turn up in 2025, which I think this next cycle has obviously begun, then there's a lot of exposure on the table. And, we can see a lot of failure in some of those routing guides. It's been really surprising to see just how competitive the rates are."
