A new Flock Freight and Drive Research study reveals a significant surge in truckload underutilization.
“We’re seeing more half-empty trucks on the road than ever before, a result of a soft freight market where low costs make shipping empty space less of a concern,” said Chris Pickett, Flock Freight CCO. “Shippers rely on truckload freight for its flexibility and ability to quickly bring goods to market—a need that won’t disappear even as the market rebounds and the cost of shipping unused space increases. What shippers truly need is a solution that lets them pay only for the space they use, without sacrificing service quality or cargo security. That’s exactly where Flock’s Shared Truckload comes in.”
