Van and reefer rates have peaked late in the fourth quarter in recent years, thanks to the impact of e-commerce. Flatbed freight, however, has been relatively unaffected by retail and consumer trends. On January 20, the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) will begin a new campaign to increase our political influence on Capitol Hill by educating Congress on the importance of the 3PL industry and advocating on behalf of our legislative goals, powered by small-dollar donations from employees in the 3PL industry. We are calling this the $20 in 2020 Campaign.
