Justin Paris and the Art of Seeing Freight Trends Before They Happen

At FTR, the power of our forecasts comes not just from the data we collect—but from the people who know how to turn that data into insight.

In this episode of Industry Connections, we sit down with Justin Paris, a key force behind our economic modeling and data analysis. With a background in logistics and a passion for systems, Justin bridges the gap between raw information and actionable intelligence. In this conversation, he shares how his hands-on experience in fleet management shaped his perspective, what excites him about working with FTR’s forecasting tools, and why staying curious is essential in today’s rapidly changing freight environment.
