2024 Freight Trends
The US freight cycle fundamentals are starting to recover after the negative pandemic impact. Influenced by various factors, including economic conditions, global events, technological advancements, and regulatory changes, the US freight cycle is forecasted to improve in 2024.
With disposable incomes and retail sales increasing, there is a projected 2% increase on consumer spending in 2024. However, global ocean shipping continues to experience major disruptions as attacks on shipping in the Red Sea disrupted traffic through the Suez Canal, in addition to low water in the Panama Canal. Reflecting on these incidents, we can expect to see freight directed to the west coast ports, impacting the air and land freight movements.
Savor Reduces Freight Costs for Customers
At Savor, we understand the need for competitive pricing when it comes to freight costs. In October of 2022, we increased our standard maximum pallet size from 2,000# to 2,500#, providing customers with significant savings in freight costs and is a wiser environmental choice. Our manufacturing team carefully places each bag onto the pallet, safely securing the product prior to shipping.
