Buckle up, because domestic intermodal is entering one of its most important windows in years. Truckload rates increased in the first quarter, the result of a supply-side recovery more than a surge in demand. As that happened, shippers started shifting incremental volume back to intermodal to capture cost savings. And it showed in March, the third-highest monthly domestic container volume on record, and the strongest performance for any month outside the traditional peak season. Intermodal rates, however, don’t move in lockstep with truckload. There is usually a lag before intermodal rates catch up. That creates a window where savings are at their peak, but it will not stay open for long.

This hourlong webinar, led by Journal of Commerce senior editor Ari Ashe, will break down what changed in the first half, where intermodal is gaining share, and how to think about positioning ahead of a peak season that could look very different from the past two years.

Canada is making moves in an increasingly uncertain world. Port development is in the spotlight thanks to the pivot toward trade diversification led by Prime Minister Mark Carney. But a slowing global economy, driven by rising fuel prices, could derail steady import volume growth and a burgeoning export rebound. And a planned merger to create a US transcontinental railroad could alter the North American competitive rail landscape. What is more certain is that a handful of port labor contracts will expire over the coming 12 months, raising the risk of port actions after bumpy and sometimes disruptive past negotiation cycles.

This webcast, led by Journal of Commerce Executive Editor Mark Szakonyi, will provide attendees with a state of the market of freight shipping in Canda, analysis of major port developments, and an update on port labor negotiations ahead of contract expirations at several gateways.

The tail end of 2025 provided a sneak preview for what was a hopeful first quarter for truckload carriers, and a potential concern for truckload shippers. Capacity contracted due to regulatory crackdowns and rising fuel costs, which led to a firming of spot rates. Now the attention turns to whether contract rates will be impacted, or rather the extent to which they will. CH Robinson, North America's biggest freight broker, in late March raised its guidance for rate increases from 10% to 12%. Truckload rate providers are warning shippers to brace themselves for rate increases. But it’s still unclear just how steep those increases will be, and the second quarter will likely be a good guide in answering that critical question. This one-hour webcast, a primer of sorts to the Inland Distribution Conference in September, will examine the fundamentals of a market that has very much turned, with input from a panel of truckload experts.
