jb hunt is saying that they're expecting rates to increase by 10% or more this year, driven by electronic logging and retention woes. they have a significant amount of idle trucks. i imagine schneider/swift/xpo/hub are all experiencing the same. 'two weeks ago, we crested 100k applications for the year, so it sounds like there's no shortage. but we hired less than 2.5% of them. there are drivers out there, but finding the professional driver is difficult'. they also complained about the poor service product offered by railroads as it impacts them(need to order more equipment to turn the same number of loads). the railroads, if they want to ride this wave of rate increases, need to be offering the best service product possible but are, typically, falling short. this should be approaching the time for slam dunk nearly double digit intermodal volume increases but most are only seeing modest gains.
