Don't hold back on investing to improve your business, even in, or rather, especially in a turbulent freight market. The knee-jerk reaction to a recession tends to be to tighten the purse strings and weather the storm. However, if that's what your competitors are doing, and you're still actively making thoughtful investment decisions, you've poised yourself to come out ahead.
For example:
- Don't hold back on tech spend
- Don't hold back on hiring people you need
- Don't hold back on training the people you need
- Take time away from the day-to-day business to strategize
- Define what success looks like for your business - near term and long term

If your third-party logistics (3PL) business is like most, you grew revenues and profits over the course of 2020 and 2021. Demand for capacity was high and the market was completely in your favor. Now, as the market slows, analysts are debating whether this is a temporary lull or if a freight recession is on its way. Inflation is escalating, spot rates are on the decline, fuel prices are soaring, and capacity is loosening. During times like these, it's important to be continuously assessing your business and what you need to do to stay competitive. When freight markets are volatile, there are several things 3PL businesses can do to minimize impact and emerge stronger.
