Tariffs and Their Ripple Effects on Supply Chains: Insights from TruckWarden

Tariffs, as import taxes on goods, continue to reshape global supply chains in 2025. With significant increases, such as those under US policies, they've generated billions in revenue while driving up costs for importers and disrupting sourcing strategies. Companies are shifting suppliers to lower-tariff countries, leading to longer routes, inventory buildups, and potential bottlenecks in logistics.

These changes amplify vulnerabilities, including higher risks in transit as goods move through unfamiliar or high-risk areas. For instance, rerouting shipments to avoid tariffs can expose loads to theft hotspots, especially for high-value commodities like electronics or pharmaceuticals.

At TruckWarden, we address these evolving challenges with our Cargo Theft Prevention Training Certificate. Modules on identifying red flags in disrupted routes and securing loads help teams adapt to tariff-induced shifts, maintaining security amid cost pressures.
