🔥 WHILE THEY’RE RECRUITING DRIVERS, WE’RE ALREADY MOVING FREIGHT

Here’s the reality in trucking right now: carrier recruiting is still a major challenge, and the pressure is not going away. The American Trucking Associations updated its driver shortage outlook in 2025, pointing to an aging driver population and a weaker pipeline of new entrants, and in 2026 ATA said the shortage remains concentrated in the over-the-road for-hire truckload segment.

That means many carriers are still spending valuable time and energy trying to find, keep, and motivate drivers.

Mockingbird Logistics, LLC takes a different path.

We work with true independent owner-operators—professionals who already control their lanes, schedules, and equipment. That lets us bypass the recruiting grind and go straight to the solution:

👉 Find the right truck.
👉 Secure the load.
👉 Move the freight.

As a proud part of Sureway & ATS, Mockingbird Logistics, LLC is built around one mission: security of the customer’s load is what we are all about.

⛽ FUTURE OIL OUTLOOK: VOLATILITY CONTINUES TO DEMAND SMARTER FREIGHT PLANNING

🔍 CURRENT SIGNALS:

• Global energy markets remain sensitive despite improving crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz. While tanker traffic has rebounded following recent diplomatic progress, shipping patterns and regional security concerns continue to create uncertainty across global supply chains.

• The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that although Middle East exports are gradually recovering, global oil inventories remain under pressure, and operational risks continue to influence transportation and logistics planning.

• Across North America, produce season continues to tighten transportation capacity, particularly for temperature-controlled freight, increasing competition for qualified equipment and placing additional pressure on freight networks.

⚡ WHAT THIS MEANS FOR SHIPPERS:

• Routing precision is more important than ever.
• Carrier flexibility and dependable capacity remain critical competitive advantages.
• Strong communication and shipment visibility help minimize disruption during changing market conditions.
• Logistics Partners that execute with discipline are better positioned to keep freight moving despite market uncertainty.
