Freight Tightness Nationwide
With winter weather arriving, and slamming the East Coast this week, as well as newly-enforced ELD mandates and a low number of overall available trucks and truck drivers, freight and trucking is incredibly tight. TCC is urging customers to place orders with as much lead time, and flexibility in delivery dates as possible to guarantee product. For more information on impacts and requirements of specific products, contact your product manager today.
Positive Economic Outlook for 2018
As 2018 kicks off, the United States and the world as a whole continues to monitor global geopolitical issues, threats and trends, and one underlying theme is apparent-the anticipation of a strong economic 2018. While the aftereffects of President Trump’s new tax plan are yet to be seen, the all-time highs across the stock markets and consumer confidence indexes are impossible to ignore. Consequently, TCC is anticipating a strong year.
