DOT Keeps Trucking Operational Amid Shutdown; FAA Probes Amazon Drone Crashes
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has implemented a shutdown plan for trucking, ensuring operations continue despite the ongoing government shutdown. Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating recent Amazon drone crashes near Phoenix. Secretary Pete Buttigieg is overseeing the DOT's shutdown plan.
Trucking, a crucial sector, remains operational during the shutdown. This is due to an emergency ruling by the DOT, which has significant implications for the industry. The ruling allows truck drivers to work overtime, ensuring goods are delivered on time.
Class 8 truck prices are expected to rise due to new tariffs. The DOT's shutdown plan does not prevent this market fluctuation. The FAA's investigation into Amazon's drone crashes is ongoing, with no timeline for completion yet.
Trucking continues to operate under the DOT's shutdown plan, with Secretary Pete Buttigieg at the helm. Meanwhile, the FAA probes Amazon's drone incidents. Despite the shutdown, truck prices may increase due to tariffs.
