Shippers Conditions Index

Avery Vise, FTR’s vice president of trucking, commented, “Announced tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada and increased tariffs on Chinese goods along with other likely tariffs raise the level of uncertainty over market conditions for shippers in the near term. We expect any additional pressure on supply chains and freight transportation due to changes in trade policy to be mostly temporary, but a few hiccups seem likely. Fortunately for shippers, transportation capacity is considerably more fluid than it was during the stressful 2020-2021 period.”
