Presenters: Eric Starks, Avery Vise & Todd Tranausky | Moderator: Jonathan Starks
This is an open webinar and free for all attendees
This State of Freight webinar will serve to help set the stage for the second half of 2020 and beyond for freight transportation. This year has been unprecedented, and many unknown factors remain concerning the economy and, ultimately, the freight markets. We cannot cover all, but we will discuss some of the most consequential issues and how various outcomes could affect shippers, carriers, and brokers.
This webinar will examine:
- What the recovery from COVID-19 looks like for the freight markets.
- Whether there will be capacity issues in truck or rail as the economy recovers.
- The state of rail service and whether it can be sustained as volumes rebound.
