The U.S. truckload market has been through a prolonged period of historic instability, caused by the convergence of a multitude of factors. While there are many positive signs moving forward, the truckload market is inherently volatile and cyclical.

As weather-related events become more common, what are the chances that freight embargoes could disrupt a somewhat upbeat outlook?

Starting September 8, SMC³’s exclusive hybrid version of its LTL 204: U.S. LTL Transportation Laws and Regulations course will examine the regulations most likely to impact the movement of freight with an LTL carrier alongside live presentations from industry experts. SMC³ recently spoke with one of those industry experts, Rocky Rogers, partner at Moseley Marcinak Law Group, to get a preview of what students can expect from this course.

As spot market rates decrease, carriers must prepare to reassess profitability on every lane. In a recent Truckload Carriers Association webinar, SMC³ joined TCA to explain the best cost accounting practices to determine which hauls are most efficient for your operations.

The final day of the SMC³ Connections 2022 supply chain event may have been short, but the sessions packed in some deep insights and confident projections on the LTL landscape.

Day two of the SMC³ Connections 2022 supply chain event offered a glimpse into SMC³’s exciting product roadmap for the LTL industry, with Worldwide Express CEO Tom Madine delivering the morning’s keynote address.
