With elections imminent, truckers, like Rhonda Rowe from Rowe Trucking in Michigan, are grappling with how Washington's decisions impact their business costs. Fuel, tariffs, and repair expenses are significant concerns, especially with the rising costs of insurance, payroll, and fuel.
Rowe's son, Laron, highlights the constant need for maintenance and repairs, often costing hundreds or thousands of dollars, and how geopolitical factors, like tariffs and global events, contribute to these expenses. Despite the challenges, Rowe remains committed to her employees, absorbing the financial hits to protect them from pay cuts. She attributes her resilience to prayer and faith.
