Impacts of the 2026 Energy Crisis on the United States Freight Market
The era of cheap freight is over. In Q1 2026, the US-Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz blockade triggered the largest oil disruption in history, driving diesel to $5.45 per gallon—a nearly 50% jump from 2025.

With contract and spot rates nearly equal, routing guides are failing as carriers reject low-paying freight. Shippers must move beyond 2025 strategies—price in sustained fuel volatility and actively manage capacity to keep freight moving.
