Our summaryABF Freight used its dynamic pricing option to fill empty capacity in a soft market, which reduced the need for employee furloughs or layoffs.
Word for word“In a softer market environment, such as the conditions we experienced in the first half of 2023, our dynamic pricing option allowed us to strategically fill empty capacity, enabling us to reduce the need for employee furloughs or layoffs and be better positioned for a market rebound of higher freight demand, as well as provide a more sustainable service offering by reducing “empty miles” (or the number of miles we move empty or near-empty equipment for repositioning purposes).” 10-K for 2023
