The re**er market in South Texas just delivered a powerful reminder of how quickly freight conditions can change.

In a matter of two weeks, re**er spot rates surged nearly 40% and then dropped just as fast. For carriers, shippers, and brokers alike, this kind of volatility reinforces the importance of staying agile, maintaining strong partnerships, and planning ahead whenever possible.

We know markets move fast, especially in produce season. Success comes from having the right network, real-time visibility, and the operational flexibility to respond before disruption impacts service.

The takeaway? Freight markets don’t wait. Companies that stay informed and adaptable are the ones best positioned to keep freight moving efficiently through every swing in the cycle.
