There have Jason Bass Managing Director been 44 publicly announced freight movement and logistics deals within the U.S. [email protected] so far this year, already topping the 38 deals announced in 2016. The total is likely +1 (804) 915-0132 much higher because most deals are private. The new mandate to start using electronic logging devices makes it harder for trucking firms to dodge federal Joe Conner limits on the hours drivers can work and will likely cut into productivity.

That love affair resulted in October 2017 representing the best month for intermodal rail traffic in history. There have been record levels of private spending on capital improvements and maintenance over the last five years and more than $635 billion spent since 1980. These investments have significantly contributed to freight rail’s strong safety record. With new safety EUROPE technologies and methods, intermodal accident rates are down 44%, equipment- caused accidents are down 34%, track-caused accidents dropped 53%, and Jeffery Perkins derailments are down 44%. Managing Director Material Handling & Logistics [email protected] +49 (0) 69 3650638 00 AIR | ANOTHER YEAR OF SOLID AIR FREIGHT DEMAND There will be no reduction in air freight volumes over the next 12 months, and the robust demand will support improving profitability, according to airline executives responding to an International Air Transport Association (IATA) survey. Outlook for air freight remained strong, and with several months of double-digit growth in 2017, the current IATA forecast of 7.5% growth in air freight demand for the year appears to have “significant upside potential” even if the industry is approaching a cyclical peak. In its monthly update, IATA said the strong performance of air freight demand corresponded with the pick-up in global trade.
