What happened

President Donald Trump delivered remarks at Verse Logistics in Hebron, Kentucky on March 11, 2026, to the family-owned warehousing and transportation company’s 2,600 employees, as he stated the workforce figure. “A very special hello Kentucky. I love Kentucky,” he opened. The news he brought for the host: “Verse Logistics is investing more than $10 million into expanding its operations this year right here,” buying new tractor trailers and opening warehouses in Texas and North Carolina — growth he credited to the tax law’s first-year expensing and to no tax on overtime, which he told the workers means “every extra hour you work, your overtime pay is now 100% tax free,” as he described the provision.

The wider tally, as the President stated it: Thermo Fisher Scientific, visited earlier that day across the river in Ohio, “investing $2 billion in domestic manufacturing”; Ford Motor Company announcing “a $2 billion assembly plant in Louisville, Kentucky, which will support more than 2,200 Kentucky jobs”; 70,000 new construction jobs nationally in a short period, including 8,000 in Kentucky (a figure he also stated in the White House’s short clip of these remarks); the stock market at “53 all-time record highs since the election”; the typical 401(k) “up by almost $35,000 since I took office”; and “$18 trillion” of new investment in 11 months against less than $1 trillion in the prior four years. “After so many years of politicians who sold out the working men and women of our country, we finally have a president who puts American workers first,” he said.

Why it matters

Hebron is the economic victory lap the White House scheduled for this trip — a host-company expansion, two nine-figure Kentucky and Ohio investments, and the President’s full investment tally delivered to a logistics workforce. It is recorded on the Economy, Tariffs & Trade hub.
