A new white paper from Haulmate aims at helping motor carriers and 3PL firms grow in uncertain times.
Haulmate drives up logistics and trucking operating efficiency 24/7 while smoothing the road for management in real time, according to the company. It does this via its proprietary suite of business-processing outsourcing (BPO) solutions.
The company said these solutions are scaled to the needs of logistics, trucking, and shipping customers.
Customer operations are supported by experienced dispatchers and back-office staff who keep freight and trucks moving smoothly 24/7.
Haulmate’s adaptive approach also helps customers spot opportunities for smart growth without sacrificing day-to-day efficiency, the company said.
Haulmate’s Growth Guide 2025 draws on expertise from thought leaders and analysis of current market conditions. The report outlines specific approaches to right-sizing trucking and logistics operations while building resilience to leverage future opportunities.
The 18-page report consists of seven sections. These delve into topics ranging from the foundations of strategic growth and ten imperatives for 2025 growth to achieving operational excellence and factoring in sustainability, equipment, technology, and economic impacts.
Other sections discuss the expected rate environment this year and whether to prebuy trucks or not ahead of stiffer 2027 EPA emissions limits.
Haulmate has published the guide as an industry service.
“As freight transportation executives enter 2025, they will continue to navigate significant market challenges while seeking sustainable growth opportunities,” said Govind Bhatti, Haulmate founder & CEO. “Carriers and logistics providers alike will need to make critical decisions about capacity, investment, and operational strategy. This report provides them with actionable insights to pursue smart, strategic growth rather than growth at any cost.”
Key findings in the Haulmate white paper point to an increasingly global and "broad" trucking industry, demanding new strategies and new ways of thinking.

“Carriers have to take a steady-as-it-goes approach,” Chris Brady, principal of Commercial Motor Vehicle Consulting, advised in the report, “as the freight market chugs along steady but relatively slowly… there’s no opportunity to raise freight rates. So, for now, focus on reducing costs.”
"Service is still king,” Brad Pinchuk, President of Hirschbach Motor Lines, noted in the guide. “Carriers that can deliver on-time, all the time-- those who deliver a high-level service-- will earn more business and higher rates in both up and down markets."
