Execution Risk Has Replaced Demand Risk
With less excess capacity in the system, execution risk has overtaken demand risk as the primary concern for shippers. Planning missteps that once could be corrected quickly now carry outsized consequences—missed pickups, service failures, and unexpected cost exposure. This reality is driving a shift toward more intentional capacity strategies, particularly in core lanes and high-impact operations. Dedicated Fleets as Capacity Security Dedicated fleets are increasingly viewed not as a premium option but as a capacity security strategy. By locking in drivers, equipment, and service standards, shippers gain greater control over service consistency while reducing exposure to spot-market volatility. In a structurally tighter market, dedicated capacity offers predictability where transactional models cannot—providing insulation from compliance-driven exits, seasonal surges, and regional imbalances.
