Executive Summary: Key Trends for 2026
Trend 1: Capacity Tightening
Expect regional capacity in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington corridor to tighten due to aging driver demographics and stricter hours-of-service regulations. We recommend securing long-term contracts by Q3 2025.
Trend 2: Rate Volatility
Fuel cost projections for PA remain variable, while regional driver wages are expected to rise by 8%. Shippers should anticipate cargo rates fluctuating between 4-7% above 2024 baselines.
