Will SHIPS Act make ship building great again; hauling world’s largest train set | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

Key Takeaways:

On episode 811 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is catching up with Dredging Contractors of America’s William Doyle to talk about the SHIPS Act; making shipbuilding great again; and the impact of port fees and tariffs.

We just moved the world’s largest trainset from EnterTRAINment Junction in Cincinnati to Chattanooga, Tennessee, with the help of Elizabeth’s Moving & Storage. We’ll meet Frank Youmans & Anne Elizabeth Youmans to learn all about the logistics behind this high-touch, white-glove move that took more than 15 trailers.

Plus, tariff Tuesday was just a head fake as Canada and Mexico tariffs are delayed again; dirtiest loads and more.
