LogEx

There has been a lot of discussion over the last few months about increased government regulation in the trucking industry. This crackdown has caused some logistical disruption, but we believe it will be beneficial in the long run.

The "6-Year Wall" is hitting the trucking industry.

Recent April data confirms a tough reality for the industry: the average Class 8 tractor is now 6.3 years old, a decade-high. While large fleets started ordering new replacements this spring, those trucks won't hit the road for months.

For shippers, this means navigating a maintenance gap. Older trucks are more prone to mechanical failure and roadside inspection delays, creating hidden volatility in your transit times.

At LogEx, we mitigate this by vetting for equipment health, not just capacity. We prioritize carrier partners who are functioning at a high capacity.

If you want to move away from the risks of an aging national fleet, let's discuss how we audit for reliability to keep your freight moving.

In the same way we strive to develop relationships with the shippers we partner with, we also want to foster strong relationships with carriers. Every part of the logistics puzzle needs to flow together, and developing a strong team leads to the best solutions.

A great relationship between a shipper and a broker is pivotal to long-term success. When it’s only a transaction, both sides miss the opportunity to develop the most effective and cost-efficient solutions.
