This episode focuses on a flurry of pro-trucker policy actions from the Department of Transportation, including a national audit of non-domicile CDL practices, withdrawal of a speed limiter rule, and two new pilot programs that allow more flexible hours-of-service. FMCSA also committed to expanding truck parking, modernizing its complaint system, and cracking down on double brokering. On the data front, diesel prices declined after recent gains, while spot rates—especially for dry van and reefer—rose in late June. Avery Vise also analyzes housing market softness, a drop in consumer spending, mixed trade flows, and a surge in aircraft-driven durable goods orders.
