US Truckload Demand Weakens in September Amid Minor Rate Rise

Analysts suggest the rate increase isn't demand-driven but rather due to freight imbalances and capacity shifts, indicating structural market issues and potential challenges for the peak season. Carriers should be wary of risks, as the industry may face a downturn.
