FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Noël Perry, Transportation Industry's Leading Economist, Launches New Enhanced Website, Transport Futures
CORNWALL, PA — The launch of Transport Futures' new, enhanced website contains a special, introductory benefit for industry participants, an analysis of the favorable Second Quarter U.S. 4.1% GDP growth just announced by the Census Bureau. Such analysis is typical of the service customers receive from Transport Futures: concise commentary on important events, with implications for shippers and carriers clearly spelled out. You can find the new website at https://TransportFutures.net, where you can read the special, free commentary at https://TransportFutures.net/navigator-blog/good-news-from-the-government/.
Transport Futures is the trade name for Noël Perry's unique analysis of all things pertaining to North American heavy freight. If it moves by truck, train or boat, he is watching and thinking deeply about it. Mr. Perry's customers enjoy the benefit of unconventional insight, often warning them of impending events well before the fact and well before their competitors receive warning. His forecast of the current capacity crisis as far back as 2011 is a recent example, a forecast he stayed with even as the market slumped in 2015 and 2016. If you are comfortable with conventional views of the market, continue with any of the many such sources of transport analysis. If you are interested in the risks of the market, taking the trouble to think the unthinkable, take advantage of Noël Perry's long experience with these matters.
