Everyone’s Talking Tariffs—But What Happens After? The logistics industry is buzzing about tariffs and geopolitics—and for good reason. With uncertainty swirling around trade policies, especially with China, many shippers are stuck in reactive mode. Imports have slowed, inventories are in flux, and the near-term focus is all about navigating the current disruption. But history has shown that the real challenge isn’t just surviving volatility—it’s planning for what comes after. While headlines focus on tariffs today, the companies that will come out ahead are already thinking about the recovery. What happens when demand surges again? When capacity tightens? When your competitors are scrambling for space and service? Now is always the time to prepare—not just for disruption, but for the rebound. Lessons from the Past (But This Isn’t 2020) To be clear, this post-tariff environment won’t mirror the chaos of 2020. During the pandemic, stimulus dollars flooded the economy while consumers redirected discretionary spending toward home goods, gym equipment, and office furniture. Supply chains were overwhelmed from port to porch, and capacity evaporated across all modes seemingly overnight. That level of hypergrowth was fueled by one-time factors unlikely to repeat. Today’s consumers are back to dining out and taking vacations. There’s no stimulus check surge coming. And few companies are stocking up based on predictions of a “new normal.” If you wait for the market to tighten before you act, you’re already behind.
