On this episode of FreightWaves Morning Minute, we delve into the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) new initiatives, including a nationwide audit of non-domiciled CDL holders, significant federal funding for truck parking, and the cancellation of the speed limiter mandate for heavy-duty trucks. These changes aim to prioritize American truck drivers and address long-standing industry concerns, as announced by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on FreightWaves' WHAT THE TRUCK?!? show. You can read more about these changes in the article "BREAKING: DOT will crack down on non-domiciled CDL holders - FreightWaves". DHL Express Canada has reinstated all services and resumed full operations after Unifor union workers ratified a new four-year contract. This agreement ends a nearly three-week strike/lockout and includes a 15.75% wage increase over four years, a new payment structure for independent drivers, and enhanced pension programs. Further details are available in the article "DHL Express Canada reinstates service after workers ratify labor deal - FreightWaves". A new report indicates that Mexico is well-positioned to benefit from President Trump’s global tariff war and the ongoing trend of nearshoring. Most goods from Mexico qualify for tariff-free treatment under the USMCA, making it a reliable alternative for companies seeking to reduce exposure to trade friction and long lead times from overseas markets. Learn more in the report "Borderlands Mexico: Winner in global tariff war could be Mexico, report says - FreightWaves".
