Welcome to the Transplace Industry Blog. In this blog I share information covering three key areas plus topical miscellaneous items. First, I post the economic data that our Customers review in many of our quarterly updates. This is not meant to cover the entire economy, only some key items such as fuel prices as well as factors that drive freight demand such as retail sales and housing starts. Second, I identify some key regulatory and legislative issues that affect freight transportation. A brief description of the issue is provided and I identify the potential impact, along with some additional commentary or links to other resources. Third, I’ll post information on Carrier and 3PL financial performance. Most of this data represents publicly traded companies as reported by highly respected financial analysts who cover the industry.
I hope you enjoy and learn from our blog. I welcome your comments and would prefer that you include your name, company, and title if you wish to opine.
I also want to publicly acknowledge and thank Shraddha Lakhera, a graduate student at the University of North Texas, who is responsible for continuously updating the data, charts, and graphs that make our blog possible.
Thanks for visiting the Transplace Industry Blog.
