In this week’s episode of FTR’s Trucking Market Update podcast, we discuss the Trump administration’s new policy on English proficiency and its exploration of tariffs or quotas regarding heavy-duty trucks. We also review the latest data from FMCSA’s drug and alcohol clearinghouse and address key indicators of the housing and manufacturing sectors. Plus, we recap the week in diesel prices and the spot market for truck freight as usual.
