The 2025 U.S. freight market is in a volatile state, driven by a complex mix of political uncertainty, market fluctuations and changing dynamics within the transportation sector. This white paper examines the key insights from FreightWaves’ January “State of Freight” webinar, highlighting the surge in intermodal shipping, the challenges posed by political turbulence, the persistence of bankruptcies in freight, and the emerging risks and opportunities facing shippers and carriers. Despite some signs of market weakness, there are substantial reasons to remain optimistic about the future of freight, particularly as new trends in intermodal and private fleets shape the logistics environment.
