Trucking Podcast

Episode 308 - Week Beginning April 7, 2025

Each week, FTR's Vice President of Trucking, Avery Vise, provides a timely update on the key trucking topics that are moving the market. This week's topics include:

Tariffs update
Payroll employment in trucking
Changes in the for-hire carrier population
Spot market conditions
Latest economic indicators
- Mortgage rates
- Unemployment benefits
- ISM manufacturing index
- U.S. international trade in goods
- Job openings
- Employment situation

Note: Several hours after our podcast recording, President Trump postponed for 90 days the higher reciprocal tariffs that took effect on all countries but China, which will see even higher tariffs than previously imposed. This move does not negate our analysis of the tariffs as they were structured and presented, however.
