  • Freight Transportation Research compares its economic forecast before and after the tariffs were implemented. The outlook for this year is anything but positive.

FTR's 2025 market forecast, as discussed in the article on FleetOwner, indicates a cautious outlook for the trucking industry due to several economic factors, including the impact of tariffs. The forecast suggests that while there might be a slight increase in freight volumes, the growth will be tempered by ongoing trade tensions and potential tariff impositions. Specifically, the article highlights how tariffs could lead to higher costs for goods, potentially reducing consumer demand and subsequently affecting freight volumes. FTR also notes that the industry should prepare for volatility, as tariffs could disrupt supply chains and lead to shifts in manufacturing and sourcing strategies. Overall, the forecast underscores the need for the trucking sector to remain adaptable in the face of economic uncertainties driven by international trade policies.
