BR Williams' semi-annual report offers insights, conclusions and recommendations for companies in the freight and logistics industry

2020 Truckload Freight Market Report Reveals Changing Market Outlook and Regulatory Impact

OXFORD, United States—BR Williams, the award-winning supply chain management company, has published its 2020 Trucking & Logistics Industry Report. The semi-annual report includes a recap of historical industry conditions from 2019, a market outlook for truckload freight for 2020, an assessment of regulations and other factors that may affect conditions in 2020, conclusions and recommendations. The report is valued by many in the industry who want to manage their operations based on the latest research insights.

"Our true desire is to provide our customers and business partners with relevant, accurate, and timely content with this series of reports," said Greg Brown, CEO at BR Williams Trucking, Inc. "Therefore, we have intentionally delayed publishing our 2020 Truckload Freight Market Report by a couple of weeks, as we have seen some dynamics change significantly and the opinions of the economists we follow in the last month. This has enabled us and others to more clearly see the direction of where 2020 might be moving."


Brown further noted that many industry characteristics have been changing rather dramatically. "However," he added, "They are now beginning to align in what we believe will most assuredly result in how operations should be affected for the next twelve to eighteen months." The company publishes its observations so its informed customer and partner base can form their own opinions and prepare how their operations and budgets might be impacted.
