Logistics at a Crossroads
Episode 6: Tariffs, Rates & Supply Chains — A Year of Dual Pressures
In this episode of Holding the Line: A Logistics at a Crossroads Podcast, Gia unpacks the double-edged challenge facing today’s freight world: shifting trade policy and monetary turbulence. From aggressive new tariff proposals to unpredictable interest rates, logistics professionals are navigating a complex web of global and domestic pressure points.
Join us as we explore:
- The escalating tariff rhetoric and what it means for U.S. ports
- The real-time impact on container flow, labor costs, and inland rail
- Why inflation and interest rate hikes are tightening freight margins
- What planners, dispatchers, and frontline teams are seeing on the ground
This isn’t just theory — it’s the reality behind every late shipment, renegotiated contract, and midnight pivot.
📍 Whether you’re in the warehouse, on the docks, or behind the dispatch desk, this is one you don’t want to miss.
