Trucking Market Update - Week Beginning April 7, 2025

April 09, 2025 • FTR | Avery Vise • Episode 308

In this week’s episode of FTR’s Trucking Market Update podcast, we dig into the latest figures on payroll employment in trucking and changes in the population of active for-hire trucking firms. We also review the labor situation for the U.S. more broadly, examine more detailed information on imports during February, and consider how the manufacturing sector performed in March. Plus, we discuss the ongoing U.S. trade war and recap the week in diesel prices and the spot market for truck freight as usual.

The Trucking Market Update is hosted by FTR’s Vice President of Trucking, Avery Vise. As this information is presented, you are welcome to follow along and look at the graphs and indicators yourself by downloading the presentation.
