One annual book and four quarterly playbooks a year. Built by the Off Ramp desk from the same data feeds powering the daily brief — but written for the practitioner who needs to take it into a procurement meeting, a board update, or an investor call.
180 pages on the year ahead in North American freight: the nearshoring trajectory through 2030, the LTL re-consolidation map, the broker-AI cost curve, the contract-spot spread we expect into the back half, and the 50 lanes most likely to break their 3-year averages.

A 38-page operator playbook for the Q3 bid window — current contract-spot premium by region, carrier health benchmarks, broker AI scoring matrix, mini-bid timing data, and lane-level rate envelopes we'd take to a procurement team this quarter.
Where freight actually moves now, two years after the Yellow vacuum. 31,400 active doors mapped, top 25 regional cohort identified, GRI cadence by carrier, and the density-reclass timeline shippers should plan into 2027.
Laredo crossings up 4.2% WoW into Q2. Bajío nearshoring buildout pace, wait-time deltas at NB/SB, USMCA review-window risk scenarios, and the 12 cross-border lanes we'd benchmark against current contract awards.
The inaugural Annual — 162 pages on the 2024 freight recession, the Yellow vacuum mid-game, AB5 California fallout, and the contract-spot inversion that defined the year. Now in the archive.
