A Different Outlook
Josh Bouk, TriumphPay’s chief partnership officer, offers a unique perspective on the freight market's future. Unlike others predicting a recovery in mid-2024, he anticipates it won't be until December 2024. His viewpoint is grounded in the company's extensive involvement in logistics transactions, amounting to nearly $50 billion annually.

Bouk notes the recent spike in online spending and its uncertain impact on the trucking sector. For brokers, the next year is crucial for maintaining business efficiency and managing costs effectively.
