If you only negotiate your base rate, you're negotiating the smallest part of your 2027 parcel increase.

UPS and FedEx both set their 2027 GRIs at a 5.9% average, but carriers have been moving more of their pricing into accessorials, surcharge rules and fuel tables. UPS's preview rates show most common accessorials rising 8.5% to 9.4%, and both increases land during peak, on December 21 for UPS and January 4 for FedEx.

In our latest blog, our SVP of Parcel Solutions Brian Broadhurst shares where shippers should be right now and what they can still do before the new rates hit.

Everyone expected demand to lead the next freight cycle. Capacity had other plans. 🚛

Truckload contract rates passed $3.20 a mile this quarter, diesel set a record, and the pool of qualified drivers kept shrinking. Volumes stayed soft for most of Q3. Then in August, shipments turned positive year over year for the first time in 42 months.

So now demand is finally showing up, and there are fewer trucks to meet it. Our Q3 2026 Industry Update looks at how the quarter played out in truckload, LTL, international, parcel, and cross-border freight, and what shippers should expect in Q4 and beyond.

We’re always proud to support events that bring our community together for a great cause! ⛳

We were honored to sponsor a hole at Ian Leonard Bad Pants Open last month at Rusk Creek Golf Club.

Ian Leonard, Chief Meteorologist at Fox 9, hosts this annual event to raise funds for two incredible organizations: Special Olympics Minnesota and the PGA REACH Foundation. We’re honored to be part of a day that combines a little fun on the course with a whole lot of good.

Thanks to Ian and everyone involved for making this event such a success! ✨
