RXO Inc., a leading provider of asset-light transportation solutions, has released its latest Curve truckload market forecast, offering insights into the financial outlook for the upcoming quarter. The report indicates a continued increase in truckload spot rates year-over-year for the first quarter of 2025, although the growth rate has decelerated compared to the previous quarter. Despite the inflationary nature of spot rates, the market experienced a calming effect throughout the first quarter, aligning with typical seasonal trends. The forecast anticipates some incremental spot market volatility in the second quarter due to summer shipping trends. Jared Weisfeld, RXO's chief strategy officer, highlighted the uncertainty faced by shippers, who are strategizing on inventory management amidst de-escalating trade tensions. Corey Klujsza, vice president of pricing and procurement, noted the potential for a tighter capacity environment later in the year, despite carriers facing cost pressures from prolonged low rates. Overall, RXO remains committed to providing data-driven insights to help shippers and carriers navigate the dynamic truckload market.
