Together they break down the winners, losers and big surprises of 2025 — and offer a straight-talking look at what freight buyers must prepare for in 2026. Expect sharp insights, a bit of humour, and just enough holiday spirit to take the edge off another volatile year in global logistics.
In this special we cover:
If you're planning your 2026 strategy, pour yourself a holiday drink and plug in — this is your end-of-year sanity check.
