Are brokers overpaying?

Jan 08, 2021 at 11:18 AM CST

Luke Falasca and Kyle Taylor start off the first episode of 2021 with a look at the high volumes of freight shippers still have to move; they poke fun at the memes that surrounded holiday package delays and the delays that are still continuing. They say that there are slow indications of volumes trending down, but when compared to where volumes were this time the past few years, volumes are still high. Falasca says the volumes coupled with tender rejection rates still hovering around 25% means freight loads are moving into the spot market — good news for carriers because it drives up rates.
