📈 Economic Indicators:
Recent tariff implementations have caused a temporary surge in freight volumes as shippers rush to move goods ahead of increased costs. However, this is expected to be a short-term effect, with forecasts predicting a 4% year-over-year growth in dry van long-haul costs, down from earlier projections of 7%.
