Drilling Deep: Outlook on the Trucking Market
David Roush, president of KSM Transport Advisors, recently joined John Kingston of FreightWaves on an episode of the Drilling Deep podcast. During the episode, Roush draws on his years of transportation experience to paint a picture of the road that lies ahead for the trucking industry.
This episode of Drilling Deep tackles these critical questions:
- Is there a capacity problem because of a lack of drivers, or is there a capacity problem because freight demand is like nothing the industry has ever seen?
- How long is the bull freight market going to last?
- How will Knight Swift LTL’s acquisition of AAA Cooper play out?
- At what point do diesel prices become a headwind?
