Daseke pulled in its full-year 2023 outlook on Tuesday as the freight market has failed to yield normal springtime demand improvements.

Daseke said Monday that supply constraints and cost inflation will again push flatbed rates to new highs in 2025.

PGT is uniquely positioned to be a part of the industrywide change, working toward larger sustainable goals while still creating immediate impacts within its own company.

Whether drivers are hauling lumber or this season’s most popular tech gadget, a transportation company must have a thorough and proactive approach to theft prevention to keep customer cargo and company assets safe.

Flatbed trucking company Daseke announced Monday it is repurchasing the nearly 30% stake in the company held by its founder.

Flatbed hauler Daseke said its trucks remain “booked solid” and that it will look to use cost and efficiency initiatives to improve results again in 2023.

Flatbed carrier Daseke said Friday it would repurchase $40 million in stock, following an April request from an activist investor to do so.

Daniel Schilling, VP at carrier Fraley & Schilling, talks with FreightWaves’ Joe Antoshak about flatbed driver recruiting at the Enterprise Fleet Summit.
