Transition Trucking Award names 2026 Elite 11 semifinalists

Veteran hiring has become one of trucking’s steadiest talent pipelines. Once a year, the industry puts 11 names and a new truck behind that idea. Kenworth, Fastport and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes initiative on Wednesday named the semifinalists, the “Elite 11,” for the 2026 Transition Trucking: Driving for Excellence award.

Why is transit in goods free but trade is not?Trade & Logistics

Why is transit in goods free but trade is not?

In my previous two posts on the value of the WTO, I argued that when governments set trade policies independently, they focus on domestic effects but often overlook the costs imposed on trading partners. International trade agreements help governments take account of these cross-border spillovers (terms-of-trade externalities) by encouraging reciprocal negotiations over trade policy. While these negotiations will reduce trade protection, they will not necessarily lead to free trade. But if governments do not generally commit themselves to free trade, why has freedom of transit for goods been seen differently?
