The average length of haul for truckloads in the U.S. has dropped almost 8% year-over-year as of early 2025, reversing the trend of longer loads seen in summer 2024. This shift, largely driven by increased demand for short-haul deliveries under 100 miles due to e-commerce growth, raises concerns for supply chain management and carrier compliance. Meanwhile, intermodal shipping is gaining popularity as a cheaper alternative, although it poses challenges with service consistency due to the multiple transitions involved.
