Summary

84% Informative

Long-haul truckload demand ( LOTVI ) has collapsed—down 25% year-over-year —as shippers have increasingly opted for slower but cheaper transcontinental shipping.

Intermodal capacity has expanded significantly since 2020 , and it is far easier to add containers into service.

Shippers have also extended their order lead times to account for unstable maritime sector, as attacks on vessels in the Red Sea have made ocean shipping less reliable.
