Transportation and logistics markets tightened further in Q2 2026, with driver attrition and stricter licensing pushing spot truckload rates to multi-year highs even as broader freight demand stayed muted. Dealmaking stayed selective and concentrated on asset-light, tech-enabled operators and specialty niches, while easing rates and stronger debt markets began unlocking deals that had been on hold. This report examines what these shifts mean for valuations and deal activity across Transportation & Logistics.
