Over the last year, M33 Integrated Solutions has been working to build strategic partnerships with many of the larger truckload carriers.Our thought process is that those larger companies have historically been much better equipped to ride out the storms of market variations and unpredictable fuel costs.Their cash flows allow them to float fuel costs and operate with economies of scale that generate profits.
We feel that the industry will continue to purge itself of capacity, and that we will begin to feel a fairly significant surge in pricing pressures from the TL community as early as late summer or early fall of this year.The current 'Catch 22' situation of excess capacity pushing pricing down while costs escalate will force this process to move forward rapidly.M33 is building relationships with those carriers that will continue to be a force in the marketplace now while capacity is abundant in return for recognition as capacity tightens and carriers pick and choose what businesses they will handle.
