The Federal Reserve’s latest rate cut is designed to stimulate the economy, but what does that mean for carriers, brokers, and shippers?
Lower Borrowing Costs – Fleets and brokers can refinance truck loans, trailers, and lines of credit at cheaper rates.
More Working Capital – Lower financing costs help brokers with cash flow and reduce factoring expenses.
Stimulated Demand – Cheaper credit encourages consumer spending and business investment, boosting freight volumes.
Inventory Restocking – Retailers may restock faster since carrying costs are lower, driving warehouse and transportation demand.
