Diesel at $5.85 a gallon is turning 2026 peak season into a pricing exercise

Diesel at $5.85 a gallon is turning 2026 peak season into a pricing exercise

U.S. diesel hit a record $5.85 a gallon, Transport Topics reported, adding fuel surcharge and accessorial pressure heading into the 2026 peak season. Amazon Shipping is also raising holiday delivery surcharges, with the highest rate running Nov. 22 to Dec. 26, Supply Chain Dive reported.

  • 01Fuel is back in the contract as a first-order variable: at $5.85 per gallon, shippers that still treat fuel as “market noise” will see volatility show up in accessorials and routing-guide compliance.
  • 02Cost pressures are stacking: when record diesel, higher parcel peak surcharges, and port constraints tighten at once, the operational advantage shifts to forecast accuracy and pull-forward planning, not rebids that cannot fix fuel exposure.
  • 03Port capex is becoming a procurement input: the $6.7B five-year equipment need is a leading indicator that terminal productivity constraints may persist even without headline congestion.

Kenco’s 20-agent target puts AI workflow control at the center of logistics tech

Kenco’s 20-agent target puts AI workflow control at the center of logistics tech

DeepFabric plans to deploy 20 supply-chain AI agents at 3PL Kenco within 12 months, according to FreightWaves. That’s a new benchmark for agent rollouts. The limiting factor is data rights, integration scope, and who controls exception handling.

  • 01“20 agents in 12 months” is a new benchmark, it implies multi-workflow automation, not a single chatbot pilot.
  • 02Logistics AI is moving to the execution edge, inside TMS and last-mile orchestration layers, where the risk is who can override a decision when service breaks.

Freight routing tools and load boards are building trust into the workflow

Freight routing tools and load boards are building trust into the workflow

Highway has launched its Trusted Freight Exchange for identity-verified carriers and vetted brokers, with payments, credit and rate intelligence powered by Triumph, according to Commercial Carrier Journal. NT Logistics is selling Routing-as-a-Service Plus as a managed, human-in-the-loop routing function that can start delivering optimized daily routes within about two weeks, Food Logistics reported. In parallel, Fleetio expanded its integration with Motive with two-way DVIR synchronization and automatic Motive Card fuel transaction imports, CCJ reported, a signal that “who can write back” into an operational system is becoming as important as who can read the data.

  • 01If a platform can verify identity and settle payment inside the same workflow, the ‘load board’ starts behaving more like procurement software, and broker onboarding and carrier vetting become configuration work, not a back-office process.
  • 02Managed routing is moving down-market: NT Logistics’ promise of onboarding via spreadsheet or API and benefits in roughly two weeks is a practical benchmark for private fleets still routing in Excel.
  • 03Two-way integrations (like Fleetio’s DVIR closeout back into Motive) raise the stakes of data permissions, change-control and auditability, especially for fleets that authorize third-party connections to telematics accounts.
