  • Record mid-2026 freight costs are driving that push: the company said surging energy prices and tight capacity are squeezing shipper budgets for a second straight month.
  • June port and rail data showed drayage and intermodal markets bracing for further price increases after the Strait of Hormuz closure sent a fuel shock through supply chains.
  • FreightWaves also named ITS Logistics a 2026 Fraud Fighters Award winner, highlighting fraud prevention as a growing factor for shippers weighing 3PL partners.
  • Heading into Q3 2026, shippers face a mix of high transport costs, port volatility, tighter capacity and fraud risk, with ITS warning seasonal demand could intensify the strain.
