About this listen

The pace of the truckload-rate recovery could be driven by the Trump administration’s focus on the enforcement of English-language proficiency (ELP) requirements, its pause on trucker work visas and the strength of this year’s peak season. In this Talking Transports podcast, Derek Leathers, Werner Enterprises’ chairman and CEO, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share what could be around the corner for trucking. ELP enforcement on the state and national level might affect 5-15% of truckers, according to Leathers. He also reflects on the pending Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger, EPA engine mandates, the impact of the US’ more protectionist policies on freight demand and how he opted for the open road over a job on Wall Street.
