You’ve long used data for forecasting, budgeting and other strategic initiatives. But the volume of data in logistics is skyrocketing. In fact, one of the great modern business challenges is knowing what data matters and what to dismiss.
As a service to our clients, AFS collaborates with TD Cowen, a leading full-service investment bank, to bring you current and highly relevant data and insights on a quarterly basis that matter to your business.

A true truckload rebound is yet to materialize, but stabilizing rates indicate truckload capacity is adapting to sustained limited demand.
