Is the freight recession over? There are signs. ATA tonnage posted its strongest first quarter in nearly a decade. Flatbed is seven weeks into a rally and mere cents from an all-time record. Dry van just crossed $2.00/mile minus fuel for the first time this cycle. And next week, the CVSA Roadcheck blitz lands on top of Mother's Day weekend, a calendar collision that historically pulls double-digit equipment off the market in a matter of days. If you're a shipper sitting on contract rates that still reflect last year's market, that window is closing faster than the forecast shows. What's your contingency plan for the week of May 12?🤔

@datfreightteam Flatbed rally tracks what we see globally. Land-bridge volumes through Jebel Ali stayed elevated. That supply chain shift feeds directly into US inland demand. Compounding risk is real.

@datfreightteam The data doesn't lie. Been watching our customers book more loads in the past month than they have all year.

@datfreightteam UK infrastructure decays while UAE logistics constellations engineer through volatility. I'd take node redundancy over cyclical gambling any day.
