The other day I was talking with my friends, Kevin and Wayne at Loadtex and they kept referring to the “Texas Triangle.” Being a Yankee from the great state of Michigan, I had never heard of the Texas Triangle, so I asked what it was. Even though I hoped the Texas Triangle was a football formation or a cowboy thing, I also mentally prepared myself for it to be some ridiculous, country line dancing thing.

The national average van rate has fallen for six straight weeks now, but that’s pretty typical for mid-February. What’s less typical is the fact that the national average is still higher than it was at any point in 2017. Spot prices have also fallen more slowly lately than in the previous weeks. Volumes are also now higher than they were a month ago, so there are signs of momentum building.

Procurement and supply chain leaders have faced their share of disruption and economic turmoil these past four years. Whether from geopolitical tensions or the havoc caused by the pandemic and its aftershocks, plenty of challenges remain. Despite this, leaders are seeing a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel — inflation is decreasing, interest rates are leveling off and supply chain volatility is easing.

February is usually the slowest month of the year for spot freight, and declines in reefer rates have been sharper than in the van segment. But then again, reefer rates also started from a much higher point, so they had further to fall. There were a lot of dramatic shifts in load counts last week in the major markets for refrigerated freight, which led to some price swings.

Retailers and marketers must always keep an eye on the future. Although millennials (aka Generation Y) remain prime targets for today’s products and services, members of Generation Z (children born between roughly 1996 and 2010) are now on the radar screen. As I’ve noted before, making generalizations about a group simply because its members were born between certain years is often a fool’s errand.
