We’re proud to share that Lane Powell, chief operations officer of Silver State International, was recently featured in Northern Nevada Business Weekly’s “Smart Money” publication, weighing in on the critical issues facing the trucking industry today.

In the article, Lane outlines how key factors like tariff changes, supply chain disruptions, and environmental regulations—particularly those from California’s CARB—are creating uncertainty for fleets, drivers, and businesses across Northern Nevada and beyond.

“For regions like Northern Nevada, where distribution centers and logistics firms rely heavily on stable freight demand, these changes can mean fewer jobs, reduced investment, and an economic slowdown,” Lane explains.

At Silver State International, we understand that challenges like these require more than just strong trucks—they require a dealership committed to service, support, and helping you navigate what’s ahead.

We’re proud to have Lane representing our team and providing insight into how our region—and industry—can adapt and move forward.
