With a new round of tariffs adding to cost pressures, freight carriers are being forced to do more with less—navigating supply chain shifts, rising operational expenses, and fluctuating demand. Carrier Performance Trends 2025 examines how the industry is adapting, using data from millions of EDI transactions to reveal insights on shipment volumes, equipment trends, and efficiency strategies. As logistics networks adjust to the new trade environment, carriers that embrace adaptability and digital optimization will be best positioned to stay ahead.
"What we're seeing in the data tells a story of an industry that's fundamentally evolving," says Erik Kiser, Orderful's CEO. "The carriers showing the strongest resilience are those balancing specialized expertise with operational flexibility—they're leveraging technology to respond more nimbly to seasonal volatility while maintaining the core competencies that define their market segments. This balance between specialization and adaptability is what will separate logistics leaders from followers as the industry continues to stabilize and grow."
To develop these insights, Orderful analyzed anonymized data from over 500 million EDI transactions processed through its cloud EDI platform as of October 30th, 2024. The research team applied advanced analytics to track year-over-year and month-over-month changes across different equipment types while measuring carrier concentration, market share dynamics, and network structure patterns. This comprehensive approach provides unprecedented visibility into both macro trends and segment-specific performance metrics.
