Are Midwest reefer lanes really more stable than the headlines say, and where are the real profit opportunities hiding right now?

In this episode, we break down the following topics:

• Why long-term freight market stability still exists in key Midwest reefer lanes
• Why predictable, Monday-through-Thursday lane pricing beats chasing volatile spot spikes and regional freight lanes are outperforming national averages
• How accepting short-term losses can build long-term carrier and customer trust
• The new FMCSA broker bond rule requiring a $75,000 bond with a strict seven-day compliance window and its impact on carrier protection, double brokering, and freight fraud
• What the C.H. Robinson Supreme Court broker liability case could mean for broker risk, federal preemption, and future litigation
