The freight market is roaring back with analysts calling it a potential “super cycle” for trucking, especially in the LTL sector, where carriers like Old Dominion are posting record margins and pricing power.

Ocean freight sees spikes due to Suez and Hormuz disruptions, boosting Maersk’s profits—but artificial demand from China’s port backups keeps rates inflated. Rail remains competitive with lower intermodal rates, and a major Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger looms, facing tough regulatory scrutiny to prove it benefits competition.
