Description
In this packed episode of FreightWaves Today, Craig Fuller, Malcolm Wilson, and the FreightWaves team break down one of the most important weeks of the year for trucking: the lead-up to the July 4th freight surge — often called trucking’s “Super Bowl.”
They discuss tightening capacity, rising spot rates, driver shortages, and why many large carriers believe the freight market has officially turned. The conversation also explores the future of autonomous trucks, AI in logistics, and how brokers and shippers are preparing for a potentially volatile peak season.
This episode features insights from industry leaders and experts, including:
- Ken Adamo, Chief of Analytics at Ease Logistics and former DAT executive
- Dr. Jason Miller, supply chain economist and professor at Michigan State University
- Max Fuller, transportation industry veteran and founder of U.S. Xpress
- Fabrizio Alvear, Co-Founder and President of ePost Global
