BofA said that the revision was based on a flurry of catalysts, including the enforcement of English Language Proficiency (ELP), limits on nondomiciled Commercial Drivers Licenses (CDL), and November 1 tariffs on imported heavy-duty trucks.

“We expect 3Q Transport results will reflect sub-seasonal demand trends given 2Q pre-shipping ahead of tariffs, yet we see increased potential for ELP, CDL, and tariff actions to aid the rate backdrop,” the investment firm said.
