The Empty Mile Problem in US Trucking

In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into a hidden inefficiency plaguing the US trucking industry: empty miles. With the latest data showing industrial production up and new orders rising, you'd think trucking would be booming. But as Lucas explains, a staggering number of trucks are running empty on return trips, especially in regions where imports and exports are out of sync. They explore why this is happening, from the container imbalance at ports to the rise of reshoring, and what it means for rates, emissions, and the supply chain at large. A concrete look at a problem costing the industry billions. #Trucking #EmptyMiles #SupplyChain #Logistics #Freight #Imports #Exports #ContainerImbalance #Reshoring #IndustrialProduction #CapacityUtilization #TradeDeficit #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SupplyChainEconomy #Shipping #GoodsMovement Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
