Truckload Pricing Power? Diesel Is Eating It Up

Truckload rates are up, but carrier profits still aren’t following. JB Hunt, Werner and Heartland earnings all point to the same freight market story: pricing power is back, but diesel, driver and insurance costs are eating the gains. In this update, we break down what the latest earnings say about truckload and intermodal, why road-to-rail conversion is accelerating, and how SONAR data backs it up. Key numbers include diesel up 72% year over year, contract rates up 18%, and intermodal showing a 30% cost savings benefit versus highway in today’s market. Truckload carriers are posting double-digit revenue growth this earnings season, but a 72% year-over-year surge in diesel prices is consuming most of those gains before they reach the bottom line.
