PPP money lowered freight rates during pandemic’s darkest days: Convoy

Freight rates in April were lower by more than 2% in part of the impact of the Paycheck Protection Program, according to intriguing new research by Convoy Logistics. 

Aaron Terrazas, the director of economic research at Convoy, went through thousands of data points to reach that conclusion.
