Canada and Mexico have outlined an action plan before the USMCA review, setting the stage for discussions on trade relations with the United States. Meanwhile, the trucking industry is bracing itself for a bumpy ride over the next 18 months, according to trucking carriers.
Executives from Werner Enterprises, J.B. Hunt, and FTR have projected a mixed but cautiously optimistic outlook for the trucking industry. They anticipate continued challenges such as economic uncertainty and supply chain disruptions, but also see opportunities from freight demand recovery and technological advances in fleet efficiency.
In other news, FedEx reported an increase in revenue and net income for Q1 2026, signalling a positive start to the year for the delivery giant.
Separately, a South Dakota soybean plant aims to boost the biofuel industry by increasing production. The plant's initiative could potentially improve the sustainability of the transportation sector and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
However, August Class 8 truck sales declined by 13% compared to the previous year, according to FTR's reports. This decline suggests that the demand for new trucks may not be as strong as previously expected, which could impact the trucking industry's growth.
Werner Enterprises' executives have also announced their Q1 2026 financial results, providing insights into the company's performance during this period.
