Trucking Market Update - Week beginning May 8, 2023

In this week’s episode of FTR’s Trucking Market Update podcast, we examine changes in the carrier population and in trucking’s payroll employment in April. We also dig into indicators of the broader labor market, including one measure indicating the most stress on the market in 54 years. On the other hand, we examine another oft-cited measure of stress in the labor market and reach a surprising conclusion. Plus, we discuss some notable moves in diesel prices and in spot market rates for one particular type of freight. 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.
