Last Mile & Trucker Bankruptcies

     Where in the world is Brandon Fried? If there is an issue impacting logistics you need to know about, don’t bet against the always in motion Brandon Fried of the Airforwarders Association not being on top of it.
     Take the case of a spate of recent bankruptcies hovering over the trucking industry in the USA, and the situation moving forward, as 2025 winds down.
     Here is what Brandon Fried told FlyingTypers about the situation with truckers:
     “The wave of trucking bankruptcies is already tightening airport pickup and delivery capacity in some areas, raising costs and service risks for forwarders. Some shippers are shifting time-critical freight to air and integrator networks, but the real winners will be forwarders who lock in reliable cartage partners, improve visibility, and protect compliance.
     “When trucking wobbles, dependable first- and last-mile service becomes the air cargo industry’s most critical advantage.”
     Brandon never leaves an issue blowing in the wind.
     But as someone who is on the road almost everywhere in the world all the time, what he shares here is not only the emis, Brandon shares knowledge that helps everyone get ahead in our industry
