U.S. businesses are increasingly claiming USMCA exemptions as rising tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other goods push import costs higher. This has led to a sharp increase in USMCA compliance for goods from Canada, reaching 81% in June, and from Mexico, now at 77%. Massachusetts state troopers sentenced after involvement in a CDL fraud scheme. Calvin Butner received three months in jail and Perry Mendes one month, both for falsifying CDL test scores and giving passing grades to unqualified applicants. Three other individuals involved in the scheme are still awaiting their sentencing. Canada Post has also made headlines, reporting its largest-ever pre-tax loss of US$294 million in the second quarter due to a significant drop in parcel volumes. This decline, which has been steady since December, resulted from a prolonged contract dispute with mail carriers that pushed shippers to private carriers. Overall revenue for Canada Post was down 7.3%, with a 36.7% decrease in parcel revenue. Finally, be sure to tune into FreightWaves TV for WHAT THE TRUCK?!? today at noon, or catch a replay this evening on SiriusXM channel 146.

Trump's administration has placed an immediate pause on new commercial truck driver work visas. Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited concerns that the increasing number of foreign drivers endangers American lives and undercuts American truckers' livelihoods, a decision that followed a fatal semi-truck crash in Florida and is supported by the ATA. A framework agreement was announced on Thursday to boost transatlantic economic ties and resolve trade imbalances. Under this deal, the EU will eliminate tariffs on all U.S. industrial goods and grant preferential market access for various American agricultural products, while the U.S. commits to applying a maximum 15% tariff rate on most EU goods. Furthermore, FedEx is turning its attention to Europe, sending specialists from its U.S. ground, parcel, and freight units to streamline operations and improve efficiency, particularly in route planning and package efficiency. This initiative is a major part of FedEx's plan to cut an additional $1 billion in structural costs this fiscal year, building on the $4 billion already eliminated in the past two years.

The Clean Truck Partnership has taken another significant blow, as four major truck manufacturers agreed with the FTC not to comply with the deal's zero-emission goals and settled a multi-state lawsuit. These actions effectively dismantled the CTP, which sought to push truck fleets toward a zero-emission future, especially after federal action eliminated waivers for California's related clean truck rules. The latest report from Cass Information Systems revealed that freight volumes fell faster in July, marking a three-month sequential decline and the largest year-over-year drop since January. Despite the slump in volumes, freight expenditures showed a positive trend for the fourth consecutive month on a year-over-year basis, indicating complex shifts in the freight market. BMO, a prominent lender to the trucking industry, is reportedly exploring the sale of its transportation finance business, with a potential sales price of around $1 billion. This unit's quarterly reports have historically provided valuable, granular data on the trucking industry's health, including insights into impaired loans and overall credit conditions.

Significant concerns surround the proposed Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger, which could leave major intermodal customers like J.B. Hunt, Schneider, and STG Logistics without coast-to-coast single-line service benefits. Intermodal analysts predict these companies may need to swap rail partners in the East to adapt to the new competitive landscape, with J.B. Hunt potentially shifting to CSX. The episode also highlights BNSF Railway's strong financial performance in the second quarter of 2025, where its pre-tax earnings rose by 11.5% to $2 billion. This gain was driven by lower operating costs, despite a decrease in average revenue per car due to factors like lower fuel surcharges. Furthermore, learn about the unfortunate closure of TGS Transportation, a California trucking company, after 40 years in business. This difficult decision was primarily influenced by the challenging market conditions currently facing the trucking industry.

NATO has issued a dire warning, stating that global ports face unprecedented cyber threats from state-linked actors, with attacks frequently traced back to Russia, Iran, and China. These sophisticated assaults target critical systems like access control and vessel traffic management, posing a severe risk to global supply chains and military logistics. In rail news, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern have confirmed advanced discussions for a potential merger that would create the first U.S. transcontinental railroad. While no assurance of a final agreement exists, Union Pacific's CEO emphasized that the railroad industry cannot stand still and requires change. On the trucking front, Heartland Express reported its eighth consecutive net loss in the second quarter, totaling nearly $11 million, or 14 cents per share.

President Trump has rolled back ZEV mandates and his administration has taken a harder line with California's stringent emission standards. What does this mean for the future of ZEV?

Del Monte Foods has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, marking one of the largest food shipper bankruptcies in recent years, with over $1 billion in liabilities. This event profoundly impacts transportation and logistics companies, including Uber Freight (listed as Transplace in the filing), which is owed over $9 million, as detailed in the article "Uber Freight faces $9M hit in Del Monte Bankruptcy". A new report from the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), indicates a continuing downward trend in driver wage growth from 2024 through the first quarter of 2025. This deceleration, attributed to reduced driver demand, saw the rate of growth drop significantly from 7.6% in 2023 to 2.4% in 2024, and only 0.9% in the first two months of 2025, as further explained in "Truck driver wages downshifting in 2025". There is growing speculation around the next Class One railroad merger in the United States, fueled by a surge of investor interest from a UK investor. While major mergers were once considered a thing of the past due to strict regulatory oversight, the industry's desire for structural changes and improvements could drive new east-west merger possibilities, a topic explored in "UK investor sees not one, but two, pathways to rail mergers".

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.

Further details are available in the article "DHL Express Canada reinstates service after workers ratify labor deal - FreightWaves".
