FreightWaves, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 2017 and operates with approximately 240 employees. It functions as an online media platform and consultancy specializing in market data and analytics for the North American freight market.
On August 20, FreightWaves reported that China's ocean export volume to the United States showed little change this year, declining by only 0.53% year-over-year, suggesting a transshipment scam when looking further down the supply chain. Earlier on August 20, the company detailed how the supply chain disruptions from 2021 to 2023 accelerated the adoption of freight technology, making real-time visibility critical for shippers to avoid empty shelves. On August 19, industry analyst Lee Klaskow, as reported by FreightWaves, projected a potentially transformative "super cycle" for the freight market, noting that structural changes and increased regulatory enforcement are creating a new landscape after years of unsustainably low rates forced many truckers out of business. Previously, on August 18, FreightWaves partnered with Motive to investigate how fleet organizations are using AI automation and integrated operations platforms to reduce rising fleet maintenance costs, improve efficiency, and lower total cost of ownership. This followed an August 17 analysis of FreightWaves SONAR data, which revealed extending tender lead times even during typical seasonal lulls, indicating "orderly tightness" in the freight market.
