Rick LaGore explains how regulation and a constrained supply are reshaping freight capacity, increasing intermodal's strategic importance

Trucking capacity is shrinking due to increased regulation, not demand, causing rates to rise significantly. This structural shift means fewer carriers and drivers are available, unlike past cycles driven by demand fluctuations. Intermodal transport is becoming more relevant. Intermodal requires careful planning and execution, with shippers needing to adapt to its unique operational needs and overcome past negative perceptions.
