‘A grim picture’: Truckers say tariffs would prompt industry layoffs, shutdowns
- Truckers warn that proposed 25 percent tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump would severely impact their industry and cross-border trade with Canada, leading to potential layoffs and shutdowns.
- The tariffs, delayed for at least 30 days, could create the largest trade shock for Canada in nearly a century, according to RBC Economics.
- The Canadian Trucking Alliance states that if tariffs remain for a long time, it could be the 'final nail in the coffin' for many trucking fleets.
- The trucking industry is facing increased competition and declining prices, which could further harm profit margins for truckers, as noted by Joseph Khoueiry from Fabreville Inc.
