U.S. manufacturing fell for the ninth straight month in November 2025, with declining orders, employment, and rising input costs showing persistent weakness.

We help our clients navigate these regions by recommending smarter alternative routes, improving transit options, and diversifying supply chains to keep shipments moving smoothly.
