Goldilocks of Freight 2025
The largest brokerage in the United States reported $17.7 billion dollars in revenue at a 30.5 gross margin. That means roughly a $5 Billion spread. They collected 17.7 Billion from Shippers then turned around and paid Carriers about $12 Billion So Did they overcharge shippers? Or Underpay carriers? Or are the numbers just right?

Seems odd that their margins were that high. Perhaps their margins are helped by managed trans and specialty services vs straight truckload?

@Steven Tittle As someone who had them as a carrier with a customer I can say that their service and AI bidding were both terribly bad

The industry will improve along with rates. Don't ask me to say when that stabilizes but I think they will. There will continue to be less drivers on the road who do not meet federal guidelines. Our opinion on the matter isn't relevant and this is not a political response, just reality of what is goin to continue. I also think that as the government digs into the fraud deeper, there will be trucking companies caught up in it. I'm not as sure about that one but I believe it is likely.

Remote work
How many of you work remotely? I travel year round for work. Every now and then my remote work takes me to Waikīkī. Not a bad location to sling freight. lol #PapaFreight

I have worked remote for the last four years. My goal is to stay that way as I now work for myself. Do I enjoy working in an office? Yes, when I choose to. It's great for a day or so. Then it becomes counter productive for me. Waikiki is a great place to do it! Jealous!

Happy Freight Customers
You got to love customers who appreciate the work you do. This customer left us a google review AND called me last week to tell me how much he appreciated the great care we put into packing his classic guitar amp. He told me this piece was “Rare” only 4 ever made and valuable. He even said he was restless, 😬 nervous, lost sleep while this was in transit. lol But once he received it and unpacked it, then plugged it in to find out it even works! He was so ecstatic. He had to let me know and wanted to tell the world! In this industry the phone rings most often because there is a problem and it needs to be fixed. It is the rare calls like this that make our days in the logistics world a little better. Hope your day is filled with phone calls from people appreciating you and the work you do! Have a great day! 😊 #PapaFreight #3pl #lsp #logistics #crating #packing #shipping #freight
