Truckload Market Showing Signs of Recovery

After 26 consecutive months of contraction, the U.S. ISM Manufacturing Index has finally returned to growth territory — a sign that the economy may be stabilizing. The truckload market is slowly regaining balance, although spot rates remain volatile and follow typical seasonal patterns. Uber Freight recommends that shippers prioritize strong partnerships with core carriers to manage upcoming fluctuations.

Impact: Moderate optimism in the market, early signs of a turnaround.
