The slowing US economy is hitting truck drivers, and the sector could be heading for worse conditions than 2008. Freight demand has deteriorated over the last year, and per-mile rates for drivers have plunged since the pandemic boom in 2021. For example, drivers are commanding per-mile rates as low as $1.49 per mile, per FreightWaves. Those rates hovered at $3.01 two years ago, and are worse than the levels seen in a brutal 2019 slowdown. Meanwhile, the American Trucking Associations' advanced seasonally adjusted for-hire truck tonnage index dropped 5.4% in March, marking the largest monthly drop since April 2020.

An electric long-haul truck in 2030 could be up to 5,328 pounds heavier than a regular diesel truck, experts predict. A battery for an electric truck can be up to 16,000 pounds, according to recent reporting by CNBC. The eCascadia electric semi-truck, which was released last year by truck manufacturer Freightliner, weighs up to 4,000 pounds more than a regular diesel truck, for example. In terms of cargo, that's space for nearly 17,000 t-shirts, 16,000 apples, or one full car less than a non-electric semi-truck could carry. The weight of the batteries "creates significant challenges economically for trucking companies," Craig Fuller, founder and CEO of FreightWaves, a supply chain data provider, told CNBC.

"Demand for trucks is, I would say, unprecedented," said David Carson, SVP of sales and marketing for Daimler Trucks North America. "We've seen an incredible demand going through Covid and continuing well into next year. Four companies dominate U.S. truck manufacturing: Daimler Trucks, Paccar, Volvo and Traton. Truck makers are spending billions to replace fuel-burning diesel engines with battery- and hydrogen-powered electric systems. Established truck makers, such as the more-than-century-old Daimler, are balancing keeping their particular and often extremely cost-sensitive customers happy in the present, while investing for an uncertain future.
