145%. That’s where tariffs on Chinese imports currently sit. Now? The U.S. might drop them below 60%—or maybe just to 80%.

Sounds like relief, right?

Not quite. For logistics professionals, it’s not a reprieve—it’s another round of planning limbo.

This episode unpacks what’s really happening behind the headlines:
 📦 Why freight planning doesn’t bounce back just because tariffs fall
 🧠 How policy whiplash is reshaping supply chain trust
 📉 What happens when business strategy is built on reactive mode

Even as Chinese exports to the U.S. fall 21%, the damage is already in motion—disrupted timelines, renegotiated contracts, and uncertainty baked into every lane.

Tariffs aren’t just taxes. They’re signals.
 And when those signals shift on a dime, freight doesn’t flow. It hesitates.
