Magic Tilt Trailers talks tariffs, workforce with Congressional representative

Magic Tilt Trailers’ President and CEO, Craig Clawson, recently met with Congressman Crist in Clearwater, Fla., to discuss key issues facing the industry, particularly tariffs and worker shortages. According to Clawson, “Tariffs are pushing up our costs, forcing us to increase our prices and squeezing our margins.”

After the meeting,  Crist toured the Magic Tilt plant and chatted with employees. “We appreciate the Congressman’s visit,” Clawson said. “We were able to show him our plant, talk to our people, and discuss some the major challenges we are facing, particularly rising costs (tariffs) and the shortage of skilled labor.”
