A stark contrast between truckload earnings for Q2 and LTL earnings for Q2. While other LTL carriers will have easier comps this quarter (due to taking on Yellow volume last summer) Old Dominion did not absorb much of Yellow's volume last year. They remained disciplined and focused on freight that fit their network and was profitable staying in their lane (no pun intended). Just some call out on their earnings- - Revenue up 6.1% - Net income up 10.2% -OR 71.9 % https://lnkd.in/eC7snNDA

With the recent bankruptcy of less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier Yellow, the remaining LTL players are expected to benefit from the volume previously handled by the now defunct company. David Wagner (Fidelity Portfolio Manager) has been watching this industry keenly. The increasing volume, coupled with improved pricing and profit-margin expansion, may be the catalysts that the transportation industry needs to continue growing in 2024 and beyond. Read Wagner’s full thoughts on this sector and how he plans to take advantage of this market shakeup: https://bit.ly/3UXcA4q

What's a trucker to do? Truckload rates are bouncing along the bottom. Volumes are generally stable but growth is weak. Yet LTL is the new darling of Wall Street, with valuations of publicly traded truckers at all time highs. Where does the market go from here? Find out in this month's DC Velocity Transportation Report. https://lnkd.in/epWNBDMm

An interesting trend has emerged from recent earnings calls by LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) carriers Old Dominion Freight Line and Saia. They both reported that some customers are shifting freight to truckload (TL) carriers. The shift is likely due to the currently low TL rates, which are a consequence of the weak freight market. Shippers are looking for a way to capitalize on low rates by consolidating their shipments and utilizing TL capacity. This could lead to increased TL volumes and greater demand for factoring services by carriers. #LTL #Factoring #Trucking https://lnkd.in/giaxuuXa

I have already had a number of brands and 3PLs reach out as they are preparing to have USPS rip the rug from under their current volume aggregator. Brands don't want to pay more for shipping; whether that is via USPS directly, or due to a 40+% rate hike on DDU shipments. I have spent hours analyzing shipping data to determine whether taking a 25% hit on shipments being injected further from the destination is going to be more beneficial than taking a 40+% hit on DDU shipments from their aggregator. I don't have a definitive answer yet. And even when that conclusion is realized, how long before USPS stops DDU injection altogether? Only time will tell.
