Jerry Clark+FollowWhy West Coast Trucking Is Chilling OutHere’s a fun tidbit: Truckers are turning down way more loads in the Southeast than out West, even though most imports still hit California ports. What’s up? Turns out, more West Coast freight is hopping on trains instead of trucks, so drivers there aren’t as picky. If you’re shipping stuff, it might be easier (and cheaper) to get a truck out West right now. East Coast? Not so much! #logistics #trucking #supplychain #Business119Share

The world’s biggest pulp supplier, Suzano from Brazil, says new tariffs are slowing down shipments to the U.S. That means we could see higher prices—or even shortages—down the line.
