Today’s Highway Environment
• Today’s Independent Highway Brokers and IMC’s face growing competition from the major asset-based providers.
• Highway resources are becoming tighter. The base of independent drivers and small fleet operators is declining.
• Trade receivable terms are becoming extended, affecting your cash flow and ability to grow.
• Collection of short pay and past due invoices is becoming more difficult and time-consuming.
• Financial stability of shippers is a key concern.• Growing competition from the rail and multi-modal service
providers is reducing the number of available highway loads.• The pace of change will accelerate as weaker players exit the
market and stronger players consolidate their positions.
