FreightWaves
U.S. center-right, industry trade
FreightWaves is a Chattanooga, Tennessee–based freight and logistics trade publication now owned by Firecrown, a media holding company controlled by founder Craig Fuller. It covers trucking, shipping, rail, air cargo, and supply-chain policy with a data-driven, industry-first orientation. Its reporting on the Trump administration focuses mainly on policy impacts to the freight sector—such as tariffs and deregulation—rather than taking a strong editorial line for or against the administration.
