According to an article in the Global Trade, the Federal Circuit is weighing lawsuits against tariffs imposed by former President Trump, with plaintiffs arguing that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize such sweeping tariff authority. A lower court had ruled that only Congress can set tariffs and that Trump’s measures on fentanyl and immigration were unrelated to declared emergencies. The government insists IEEPA grants broad import control, warning of economic fallout if overturned. The en banc decision could determine tariff legality and potential refunds for importers.
According to an article in the Global Trade, the $50 billion U.S. heavy-duty truck industry is facing rising costs from Section 232 tariffs on steel, aluminum, and copper parts, pushing manufacturers to move more sourcing to Mexico under the USMCA trade pact. Trucks built in the U.S. now carry a 3% cost premium, with Daimler’s Mexican-made Freightliner Cascadia priced around $165,000 versus $195,000 for Paccar’s U.S.-built Kenworth T680. Paccar paid $75 million in tariffs in Q3, while rivals gain higher margins by avoiding levies. Volvo has raised its Mexico investment to $1 billion, and Paccar plans to boost imports of USMCA-certified parts. With raw materials making up 85% of truck costs and a Commerce Department probe underway that could add new tariffs, ACT Research forecasts U.S. truck production to fall 11% in 2026.
As per an article in the Transport Topics, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is moving to block California’s Clean Truck Check program, which uses roadside monitoring and annual compliance fees to enforce emissions standards on trucks over 14,000 pounds, including those registered in Canada and Mexico. EPA argues the law violates the Commerce Clause and the Clean Air Act, calling it an unlawful attempt by California to impose national policy and “drive out affordable trucks.” Trucking groups applauded the move, while the DOJ has also filed lawsuits against CARB. Public comments are open for 30 days before EPA finalizes its decision.
According to an article in the NBC News, transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned California, Washington, and New Mexico to enforce federal English proficiency requirements for commercial drivers within 30 days or risk losing millions in federal safety funds. The move follows a deadly Florida crash caused by Harjinder Singh, a migrant accused of entering the U.S. illegally, who held a California CDL despite failing an English test. The clash sparked political blame between Trump officials and Democratic governors, with states pushing back against claims of noncompliance.
According to an article in the Bloomberglaw, hundreds of trucking and freight companies that thrived during the pandemic boom are now filing bankruptcy at record rates, hit by low freight rates, excess capacity, high debt, and Trump-era tariffs that fueled uncertainty. Nearly 41% of transport bankruptcies in the past five years occurred within two years, with giants like Yellow Corp. collapsing and wiping out 30,000 jobs. Smaller firms face crushing insurance costs, inflation, and predatory merchant cash advances, while tariffs, immigration crackdowns, and weak housing demand stall recovery until at least 2026.
As per an article in the Landline Media, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it will reject California’s Heavy-Duty Inspection and Maintenance Requirements for out-of-state and foreign trucks, arguing the rules violate the Constitution’s Commerce Clause and the Clean Air Act. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called the move an “attack on truck drivers” that would raise costs for all Americans. The proposed rule will be published Aug. 26 with a 30-day public comment period. The decision follows Trump’s actions rolling back California’s vehicle emission rules and targeting EV market preferences.
According to an article in the Republic World, Walmart has warned that U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports from China, Mexico, Vietnam, and India are driving up costs, squeezing profit margins, and forcing potential price hikes ahead of the holiday season. CEO Doug McMillon said costs continue to climb each week as inventory is replenished at post-tariff levels, with inflation inside Walmart’s 4,600 U.S. stores already more than double the prior quarter. While Trump insists tariffs won’t fuel inflation, Walmart says rising costs are unavoidable, sparking tensions as the retail giant braces for tighter quarters.
According to an article in the American Kahani, a fatal U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike that killed three has thrust 28-year-old trucker Harjinder Singh into the center of America’s immigration, trucking safety, and justice debates. Over 2.4 million have signed a petition for clemency, arguing it was a tragic accident, not a crime—drawing parallels to the Rogel Aguilera-Mederos case. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis rejected calls for mercy, saying “No deal,” as Singh faces up to 45 years and deportation. The case has triggered visa suspensions for foreign truck drivers, scrutiny of CDL rules, and growing clashes over accountability versus compassion.
RXO’s latest report shows spot rate growth is slowing. In Q2 2025, spot truckload rates rose 6.5% year-over-year, down from 9.1% in Q1. Freight demand remains weak, keeping volumes and rates stable despite modest gains. Capacity is tightening as some owner-operators shift to company jobs due to low profitability, which could gradually push rates higher. RXO expects the market peak to look similar to 2014 levels, not the dramatic spikes seen in 2020–2021. Seasonal events caused small rate bumps in Q2, and the upcoming peak season may bring more volatility if demand strengthens.
The U.S. and EU have finalized a trade deal under President Trump, imposing a 15% tariff on most European goods. Pharmaceuticals and aircraft are exempt, while the status of wine and spirits remains unresolved. The agreement marks progress, though some details are still pending.
