Transfix Take Podcast | Week of March 3: Rates Hold Strong as Global Uncertainty Mounts

It's the week of March 3rd, and host Jenni Ruiz and market expert Justin Maze (NFI Industries) are unpacking a whirlwind seven days: the Supreme Court struck down tariffs only for 10% global tariffs to follow, conflict in the Middle East is sending shockwaves through global supply chains, and diesel prices have now climbed for eight straight weeks. Back on the domestic side, the U.S. truckload market remains stubbornly tight. Tender rejections are hovering near 13.7%, rates are still up 24% from December 2024, and the relief shippers were counting on this spring? It's not showing up. Justin breaks down what's driving pressure region by region — from a heating-up South and Southeast to a softening Midwest and a surprisingly quiet West Coast. Plus: What could Delilah's Law mean for capacity if it passes? Are shippers rethinking the annual contract in favor of spot pricing? And can anyone actually forecast what's coming next? If you're in freight, now is the time to strategize.
