This storm is impacting trucks, trains and ships from the Appalachians to New England. Besides road closures, some airports and intermodal terminals remain closed. 

Roads are still covered in snow and/or ice in many states across the southern Plains, as well as the Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio valleys. Most issues and closures are on U.S. and state highways.

On this episode of #WithSONAR, co-hosts Kyle Taylor and Luke Falasca spoke with Principal and Managing Director of K-Ratio, Kyle Lintner, about the current state of the freight market and how to mitigate risk.

The two co-hosts and Lintner also discussed changing supply chains, how shippers can reduce volatility and their costs by using shorter bids.
