A massive winter storm shakes up the freight market—and Craig Fuller and Matt Leffler break down why this one matters. Tender rejection rates spike above 12%, signaling tightening capacity and a potential inflection point for carriers. The hosts unpack why weather often acts as the catalyst that finally tips a soft market into a crunch, and whether this disruption could mark the beginning of a more sustained recovery.
Along the way, they dig into rising M&A activity across trucking and brokerage, from major carrier acquisitions to growing momentum around IPOs and private equity exits. The conversation also veers (as it often does) into sales models, parcel and LTL strategies, demographic shifts, and the surprising ways culture, technology, and human behavior ripple into freight markets.
