Freight thefts slam SoCal shippers; retail and consumers left holding tariff bag | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

On Episode 840 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about yet another freight theft in Southern California. The thieves spoofed a bill of lading and made off with a shipper’s freight. Travelers’ Scott Cornell stops by to talk about the rise of strategic theft and why your cargo may be at risk.

President Donald Trump told Walmart to “eat the tariffs,” but is that a realistic ask? With steep 30% tariffs across a lot of Walmart and many other retailers’ items, they’re saying cost increases are unavoidable. Rodney Manzo at Anvyl by Sage breaks down the company’s latest state of the supply chain report, which looks at shipper fears around increasing costs related to tariffs, transportation, and shipping delays.

The truckload market got tight last week due to International Roadcheck, but can it last? We’ll take a look at the latest data in SONAR’s Trade War Command Center, and we’ll look at how rates, volumes and tender rejections are holding up.
