Trucking Market Update - Week beginning May 1, 2023

In this week’s episode of FTR’s Trucking Market Update podcast, we review economic data for the first quarter – both for the entire U.S. economy and the portion of the economy linked to freight transportation. We also discuss consumer spending, manufacturing orders, and home sales, and we briefly address a couple of regulatory actions that are of interest to trucking operations. Plus, we examine a potential inflection point on spot rates and recap the week in diesel prices. The Trucking Market Update is hosted by FTR’s Vice President of Trucking, Avery Vise. As this information is presented, you are welcome to follow along and look at the graphs and indicators yourself by downloading the presentation.
