In this episode of Logistics Unplugged, host Brian Blalock welcomes Jonathan Swart, Senior Director of 3PL Services at BlueGrace Logistics, for a candid look at where the freight market stands and where it’s headed. Jonathan revisits his summer predictions and breaks down what actually happened — from shifting capacity and steady contract rates to the ripple effects of tariffs and AI infrastructure.
They also talk through what shippers should keep an eye on heading into Q4, including inventory trends, truck orders, and the slow return of seasonal patterns. And because no episode with Jonathan is complete without a twist, he brings a round of “two freight truths and a lie” that features a buzzing trailer full of crickets, a misplaced load to Alaska, and a truck driver who may have stopped a bank robbery.
This one’s part forecast, part storytime and all things logistics. Tune in now.
