Truckers are taking a pass on carrying stuff to the west coast. Empty ports on the Pacific means they'd have to dead-head it back because there's nothing for them pick up for the return trip.
Trump's trade war means freight haulers would be doing the same amount of work for half the pay.
The future for trucking (and rail, for that matter) is pretty bleak right now - and will not rebound in a big hurry. Even if Trump reversed himself today, it'll be months - if not years - before we get back what we're losing.
I hate that fuckin' guy.
