Trump’s tariffs are destroying the trucking industry

Story Summary:

Chance, a truck driver from Mississippi and longtime Trump supporter, says tariffs in Trump’s second term are hurting working Americans. With fewer imports coming through ports, intermodal truckers like Chance are now competing for the same inland freight they rely on. That’s made it harder for him to find work. As a conservative, Chance doesn’t understand why Trump is pushing what he sees as a tax that’s making life more expensive.
