Loosening Labor Markets Could Aid Margins

Freight transportation and logistics companies may face lower costs to attract and retain employees now that tighter labor conditions are loosening, which could help margins in 2024. In this Talking Transports podcast, CS Recruiting’s CEO and founder Charlie Saffro joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation & logistics analyst, to discuss how the labor markets have evolved since the pandemic and what companies can expect this year. The freight economy has been weakening since 2022, as illustrated by the closing of Yellow, a large less-than-truckload carrier, and technology-driven freight broker Convoy, last year. This is leading to weaker labor conditions relative to the national market. CS Recruiting is an executive search firm specializing in the supply-chain, logistics and transportation industries.
