Should I Panic?
The US supply chain faces ongoing volatility from global conflicts, intensified regulatory pressures, & persistently low freight volumes. Escalating Middle East tensions, including US-Israel strikes on Iran & related disruptions, have delayed any large-scale return of container shipping to the Red Sea, forcing rerouting around Africa, higher surcharges, & increased costs for energy, commodities, & imports.
Domestically, freight demand remains subdued after 2025's tariff-driven front-loading, with containerized imports softening, trucking & rail volumes depressed, & spot rates mixed amid weather impacts & regional capacity tightness.
With all of that said, I asked two of the brightest minds in freight, Jason Miller of the Michigan State University - Eli Broad College of Business & Ken Adamo of DAT Freight & Analytics to join the Armchair Attorney® Podcast to help me answer the age old question: "Should I Panic?"
