The impact
Trucking companies, freight forwarders, warehouses and customs brokers see the effects of tariffs before almost anyone else. Cross border volumes shift, shippers ask for better rates, and the cost of trucks, trailers and parts rises.
Because logistics firms serve affected industries, many can show indirect tariff exposure as supply chain partners, which is one of the accepted ways to qualify for the Regional Tariff Response Initiative.
Programs
Liquidity assistance up to $2M and pivot projects up to $1M for tariff affected businesses with $1M+ revenue.
