How Factory Orders Are Booming but Freight Is Flat

from The Supply Chain Economy with Fexingo: Logistics, Shipping, and Goods Movement · host Fexingo

Manufacturers' new orders hit $630 billion in March 2026, up nearly 1.5 percent from the prior month. Industrial production is rising and capacity utilization is climbing back toward 76 percent. But trucking volumes are still stuck in neutral and spot rates are barely above operating cost. Lucas and Luna look at why the factory floor and the loading dock are telling two different stories, and what that means for owner-operators and small carriers still waiting for the rebound. #FactoryOrders #IndustrialProduction #CapacityUtilization #Trucking #Freight #SupplyChain #Logistics #OwnerOperators #SpotRates #Manufacturing #Economics #Business #Trade #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SupplyChainEconomy #LucasAndLuna #FreightRecession Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
