Nearshoring – the practice of transferring business operations to a nearby country rather than a distant one – is gaining traction in North America.

Why? Partly due to post-pandemic supply chain considerations and benefits included in regional trade agreements (USMCA/CUSMA/TMEC).  

But what are the challenges and opportunities facing nearshoring in North America and in attracting manufacturing investments to the region?

Join this North American Transportation Forum webinar for an interactive discussion on:

  • What is nearshoring?
  • How will it impact trucking?
  • What are the opportunities for trucking?
  • What are the challenges and mitigation strategies?
  • How are trade agreements encouraging nearshoring?

The webinar will be in English with simultaneous Spanish interpretation.
