Trump tariffs endanger struggling US trucking industry, experts say
- President-elect Donald Trump's threatened tariffs on top trade partners China, Mexico and Canada would deal a blow to the $1.7 trillion U.S. transportation industry and worsen a nearly three-year trucking recession,

This situation is compounded by the industry's struggle with driver shortages, regulatory changes, and economic pressures, potentially leading to more bankruptcies and downsizing within the sector.
