Outlook for 2020: Preparing for an Economic Slowdown

The freight market has seen a great deal of volatility in 2018 and 2019, and 2020 is shaping up to be a year of additional uncertainty, heightened by the ongoing trade war and an election cycle that could yield very different outcomes based on how the results shape up. With so many factors still up in the air, making the best decisions for any organization will be a complexity-filled process that is best navigated through current data analysis and historical patterns.

Join FreightWaves and Spireon for an hour-long webinar on Thursday, January 30 at 2pm ET as we discuss the potential outcomes that 2020 could have in store and the effects that those outcomes may have on the broader industry. Featured speakers will include Dean Croke, Chief Insights Officer for FreightWaves, as well as Anthony Smith, Economist for Freightwaves.

During the presentation, the speakers will discuss the factors currently influencing market trends and how you can best prepare for the different outcomes.

Key areas of discussion will include:

• Manufacturing and industrial production
• Retail sales patterns
• Consumer confidence trends
• Decline of personal consumption expenditures
• Shifts in freight capacity and volume
