According to a report by Orderful, the road transport sector is beginning to show promising signs of recovery after a period of difficulties.
The road transport sector is beginning to show promising signs of recovery after a period of difficulties. In a recent report by Orderful titled “Carrier Performance Trends in 2025,” however, despite the progress, obstacles remain that pose challenges for both carriers and shippers.
Orderful analyzed anonymous data from more than 500 million EDI transactions processed through its cloud platform, gaining a detailed insight into the sector. This information allowed for the evaluation of year-over-year and month-to-month changes across different types of equipment, as well as the concentration of carriers, market share dynamics, and network structure patterns. The results show both recovery and persistent obstacles within the road transport industry.
Stability in the LTL sector and uneven recovery
The report highlights that the road transport sector is slowly emerging from the recession, with LTL (Less Than Truckload) transportation results reaching a level of stability. However, not all segments are recovering at the same pace. Some are advancing faster than others, forcing carriers and shippers to be agile and adjust their strategies as demand patterns shift.
Erik Kiser, CEO of Orderful, emphasized the importance of adaptability in today’s market. According to the report, the balance between specialization and adaptability will be a key differentiating factor for identifying future leaders in the logistics sector. In a market environment marked by uncertainty, the ability to adapt to seasonal fluctuations and respond to demand quickly will be essential to stay competitive.
The report also highlights that seasonal trends are becoming easier to predict. Although the sector has experienced contraction and historically low rates, year-over-year growth figures, which have peaked at 68%, suggest a potential turning point in the market.
Towards 2025: strategic implications
As the sector moves toward recovery in 2025, several strategic implications emerge for both carriers and shippers, as outlined in Orderful’s report:
- Variable growth: Uneven recovery demands strategic planning tailored to the specificities of each market segment.
- Specialized experience: Orderful highlights that specialized experience from carriers is crucial to maintaining a competitive advantage.
- Flexibility and resilience: The diverse equipment profile and operational flexibility observed in the van market offer valuable lessons for building resilience against future market disruptions.
- Strong relationships: The ability to establish and maintain strong relationships with carriers can be critical for ensuring consistent service and overcoming persistent challenges, according to Orderful’s findings.
In conclusion, as the road transport sector recovers from the recession, companies must focus on balancing specialization and flexibility, adapting to seasonal fluctuations, and maintaining key relationships in the sector. These strategies will not only help overcome current obstacles but also position carriers and shippers for long-term success in 2025 and beyond.
