Fuel is surging, fraud is forcing new action in Washington, and the freight market is sending mixed signals. This week on The Transfix Take, Jenni Ruiz is joined by NFI’s Justin Maze to break down the biggest developments shaping freight right now, from the newly introduced Safer Transport Act and work authorization mandates to diesel’s sharp climb and what it means for brokers, carriers, and spot market pricing. They also dig into tender rejections hitting 15%, why small fleets may be getting squeezed, and how produce season is tightening capacity in the Southeast while the Midwest, Northeast, and West Coast tell very different stories. If you’re trying to make sense of a market that feels increasingly capacity-driven, not demand-driven, this episode lays out what to watch next. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.
