You Delivered That Load Three Weeks Ago. Here Is Why You Still Do Not Have the Money - and What to Do About It. Here is a number that does not get talked about enough: we have seen a some small carriers that have somewhere between $40,000 and $100,000 in completed work sitting as unpaid invoices at any given time. That money has been earned. The load moved. The delivery was made. The BOL is signed. The money simply has not arrived yet - because the broker or shipper has 30, 60, or sometimes 90 days to send
Your Truck Is Getting More Expensive to Fix. Here Is the Data on Why - and What to Do Before It Gets Worse. The maintenance cost story in trucking has been quietly telling the truth about the freight recession in a way that spot rates and load volumes never fully captured. When freight slows down, trucks run fewer miles, which means fewer service events per truck per month. The Q4 2025 Decisiv/TMC Parts and Labor Service Benchmark Report showed a 1.3% dip in combined parts and labor costs - and some co
Every Recovery Looks Like the Right Time to Add a Truck. Here Is How to Tell If It Actually Is. If you have been running the load board for the past three years, you know what the bottom felt like. Loads sitting for hours. Brokers lowballing you on every call. Rates that barely covered fuel, let alone the truck payment. That was the freight recession - and it held from 2022 through most of 2025. Something has shifted. You are feeling it. The board is busier. Brokers are calling instead of w
Your Insurance Renewal Is Going to Be Worse Than Last Year. Here Is Why - and What You Can Actually Do About It. When the insurance renewal comes in higher than last year, most small carriers respond the same way: shop it, push back on the broker, maybe raise the deductible to get the premium down. That has been the playbook for a decade. It is increasingly not working - because the problem is not your specific loss history. It is the industry-wide loss environment that your insurance company is pricing you
Trans-Pacific container rates rise, but there's a catch While the Strait of Hormuz remains a cynosure for global shipping, container rates on the benchmark Asia-U.S. trade lane continue their gradual rise.

Rate table complexity meets generative AI in new platform For decades, mid-market trucking fleets have grudgingly accepted a painful reality: Their transportation management systems handle about 80% of their rating needs.

His company's new AI RateAgents aim to solve it by letting carriers build custom r
Xpress Global Systems celebrates 40 years of moving the trickiest freight in America Dalton, Georgia, the carpet capital of the world, has long been ground zero for one of logistics' most demanding niches: moving massive, damage-prone rolls of flooring that traditional less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers simply couldn't handle. Forty years ago, in 1986, a company was born here to solve exactly that problem. Originally called Crown Transport, today's Xpress Global Systems (XGS) has
