    Intermodal III: Domestic Intermodal Pricing

    Diving deeper into the Intermodal Savings Index, this session will cover whether intermodal prices are delivering adequate cost savings to shippers or whether truckload opportunities are too competitive to pass up. How has pricing impacted volume in 2024? How has pricing impacted the balance between shippers using asset-owning intermodal providers versus non-asset brokers? What is the pricing outlook for bids going live in the first quarter of 2025? After two years of rate reductions, will carriers have the upper hand to get a rate increase in 2025?
