Mexico's industrial boom, highlighted by the new $540 million Wellness Development Hub in Huamantla, is the first of 15 centers projected to attract $277 billion in investment and 300,000 jobs by 2030. Cross-border opportunities face challenges, exemplified by the U.S. labor dispute against Mexican meatpacker Alimentos Grole, resulting in a suspension of goods liquidation due to alleged worker rights suppression. Additionally, a major U.S. appeals court ruling found most of Trump's broad import tariffs unlawful, creating a critical window of uncertainty regarding future import costs until October 14th. Prepare for peak season parcel surcharges, with major carriers like UPS, DHL, FedEx, and USPS implementing additional fees from September/October through January, varying based on package specifics and shipping volume. In innovation, autonomous trucking advancements include Torc Robotics' partnership with Edge Case Research to develop a comprehensive safety case for Level 4 autonomous trucks, aiming for fully driverless commercial long-haul trucks by 2027. Trimble launched its new Freight Marketplace, a platform designed for long-term contractual agreements rather than spot loads, with Procter & Gamble as its first major shipper. A critical industry safety concern addresses the Trump administration's cancellation of a three-year FMCSA study on sexual harassment and rape in the trucking industry, a significant setback for policies protecting vulnerable groups.

Major parcel carriers like UPS and DHL are hiking surcharges ahead of the holiday season, with UPS adding fees for residential services, next-day air, oversized packages, and high-volume shippers starting September 8th. These increases, which follow earlier announcements from FedEx and UPS, are designed to ensure operational reliability through January 17th. In a significant legal development, a federal court has ruled most of President Trump's tariffs illegal, finding that the emergency law he used did not grant him authority to levy them in a 7-4 decision. This decision could impact tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, though they will remain in place through October 14th to allow for an appeal to the US Supreme Court. In trucking technology, Torque Robotics has partnered with Edge Case Research to develop robust safety cases for Level 4 autonomous trucks, with Edge independently assessing Torque's driverless safety framework. This collaboration supports Torque's commitment to safety and independent validation, aiming to launch fully autonomous long-haul trucks in the U.S. by 2027.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Anna Stoiber, Development Director with Operation Warm, who highlights the nonprofit organization and their mission of "providing warmth, confidence, and hope through basic need programs that connect under-resourced children to the community resources they need to thrive." During the interview, Anna shares how the organization began in 1998, and how their efforts have expanded from providing coats to now including athletic shoes and sports bras, distributing over 7 million items through partnerships with companies like FedEx and International Paper, community organizations, and other nonprofits. The organization uses an efficient logistics system to plan events where children can select new items that fit them, creating meaningful connections between volunteers and youth while improving school attendance and confidence. Supporters can contribute through individual donations starting at $25 or corporate partnerships, with more information available at operationwarm.org.Operation Warm's Expanding Community ImpactAnna Stoiber, Development Director of Operation Warm, explains that the organization was founded in 1998 by Dick Sanford who initially provided 58 coats to children near Philadelphia, and since then the organization has grown to provide 7 million coats and other necessities to children in need. She describes how Operation Warm has evolved beyond coats to include athletic shoes with two pairs of socks in 2020 and sports bras in 2023, all based on feedback from community partners about essential items needed by children in their programs.Operation Warm: Community Clothing SupportAnna explains that Operation Warm connects with local organizations supporting children in need, providing garments as an extra basic need beyond clothing, food, and shelter. In Tennessee, partnerships with companies like FedEx, International Paper, Subaru, and firefighter departments have distributed over 25,000 coats and shoes to children in the past two years. The program creates meaningful connections between volunteers and children at events where kids can choose new, colorful items that fit them, creating moments of joy and showing children that their community cares about them.Operation Warm's Outreach and SupportAnna explains Operation Warm's logistics for providing coats and shoes to children, using an algorithm to predict sizes and needs for schools, with direct shipping through FedEx to reach even rural communities. The planning process typically takes 6-8 weeks for full-service events, though direct shipments to community organizations can be arranged more quickly. Anna outlines various ways to support their efforts, from individual $25 donations (covering one coat or pair of shoes) to corporate partnerships, with options for fundraising through their website where supporters can set goals and receive toolkits with promotional materials.Operation Warm's Community Impact SuccessAnna shares that Operation Warm receives excellent feedback from corporate partners, with 100% of corporate volunteers expressing interest in participating again, and partners like FedEx and the First Lady of Tennessee's office returning because of the meaningful connections made. Jeremy emphasizes that beyond providing coats and shoes, the program builds community through relationships between volunteers and youth.

Although FedEx confirmed the layoffs are not related to the company's ‘Network 2.0' plan for streamlining its package network, this is the company's second layoff this year. The state's labor department filed notice that 217 employees were previously laid off in Middle Tennessee in March.

This week, our hosts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dave Bittner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Carrigan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (also host of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠T-Minus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Space Daily show) are sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with some follow up, this time involving a surprising new flock of chickens and a listener note from Belgium. Via Peter Janssen, as he's seen the same fake “employee discount” scams we covered, only this time targeting backpacks and other products. Dave's story is on a new “podcast imposter” scam, where fake invites trick business owners and influencers into giving remote access so attackers can hijack their accounts. Joe's got a story on Workday disclosing a breach after attackers used social engineering to infiltrate a third-party CRM system, and why this matters given Workday's wide use as the front end for so many companies' HR departments. Maria brings two quick hits this week: a fake FedEx text scam making the rounds, and a look at whether covering kids' faces with emojis in photos really protects their privacy — or if it's more illusion than protection. On today's catch of the day, Dave got a text claiming he's been recommended for a high-paying, no-experience-needed YouTube job—classic signs of a scam promising easy money and “free training.” Complete our annual ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠audience survey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ before August 31.

Tommy Fleetwood has finally won a PGA Tour event. Naturally, this episode starts elsewhere, as Andy and Brendan immediately jump into some quotes from Robert Garrigus and James Hahn. As told to Adam Schupak, these men are very unhappy about the PGA Tour's continued shift toward Signature Events. Garrigus challenged Jordan Spieth to a match for his "five sponsor exemptions" into Signature Events next year and Hahn wants Brian Rolapp to get his phone number from Jay Monahan. This sets Andy off, wondering which players should feature in the "Mule Derby." Things eventually get back to the Super Bowl of Golf, won by Tommy Fleetwood after four rounds of preferred lies. Tommy held off "Playoff P," Keegan Bradley, Russell Henley, and a half-hearted charge from FedEx Cup fourth-place-finisher Scottie Scheffler on Sunday. PJ questions whether this Tour Championship should even count as Tommy's first win, but Fleetwood is now Mr. 1,001 regardless. Andy and Brendan discuss the week at East Lake and give Tommy his flowers for landing the plane on Sunday afternoon. With the U.S. Ryder Cup team set to be announced on Wednesday, it seems like Keegan Bradley will select himself, leaving one of Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, or Sam Burns at home. There's a lengthy discussion about what Keegan should do, but everyone agrees things are trending toward him being a playing captain. The European Ryder Cup team also got a boost on Sunday, with Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton teaming up to win the LIV Team Championship in a playoff. Elsewhere for Europe, Rasmus Hojgaard qualified on points, all but locking up their 12 players. Brendan is unsure of how Rasmus accumulated enough points to make the top six and questions whether all points lists should go away for the 2027 Ryder Cup. Stew Cink went back-to-back at the Ally Challenge, beating Ernie Els in a playoff in Michigan and Brooke Henderson won her national Open on the LPGA. Finally, President Trump declared that he's in favor of Keegan Bradley's playing captaincy and said he will be attending the Ryder Cup on Friday. Will he chop it up with Don Rea? That remains to be seen.

Tired of cold emails that get ignored? What if I told you that sending gourmet cookies could be more effective than your entire digital marketing budget?In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Corey Quinn, former CMO at Scorpion and author of “Anyone Not Everyone,” who reveals how gift-based outreach became their company's #1 sales channel - outperforming a $6 million marketing budget that included ads, content, and 100 annual events.Corey shares the exact strategy that helped close seven-figure deals with brands like Lululemon, ReMax, and Hyundai, and how his team scaled this approach to send 15,000+ gifts annually while growing the company to $200 million in revenue.In this episode, you'll discover:✅ Why traditional cold outreach fails (and the psychology behind gift-based marketing)✅ The “unique, striking, impression” framework for choosing the perfect business gifts✅ How to build a high-quality prospect list that actually converts (it's not about volume)✅ The 6-step follow-up system that turns gift recipients into million-dollar clients✅ Why timing is everything (and when to call after your gift arrives)✅ The long-term strategy of consistent gifting that beats one-off campaigns✅ Real case studies: From overnight FedEx cookies to custom embroidered pillowsPerfect for: Entrepreneurs and small business owners struggling with lead generation, content creators looking to monetize their audience through B2B services, and anyone tired of competing in the crowded digital marketing space.Key Takeaway: Sometimes the most effective marketing strategy isn't digital at all - it's deeply personal and surprisingly analog.Guest Bio: Corey Quinn is a sales and marketing expert who spent 19 consecutive quarters as the top producer at a digital agency before becoming CMO at Scorpion, where he helped scale the company to $200 million. He's the author of “Anyone Not Everyone” and specializes in helping businesses escape the generalist trap through deep specialization and relationship-driven marketing.Free Resource: Listeners can get Corey's audiobook “Anyone Not Everyone” plus workbook, videos, and templates at anyonenoteveryone.comSubscribe to the Your Digital Marketing Coach podcast for weekly insights on building and growing your business through strategic digital marketing.Learn More: Buy Digital Threads: https://nealschaffer.com/digitalthreadsamazon Buy Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth: https://nealschaffer.com/maximizinglinkedinamazon Join My Digital First Mastermind: https://nealschaffer.com/membership/ Learn about My Fractional CMO Consulting Services: https://nealschaffer.com/cmo Download My Free Ebooks Here: https://nealschaffer.com/books/ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/nealschaffer All My Podcast Show Notes: https://podcast.nealschaffer.com

Gholf: Tommy Fleetwood van Engeland het met sy 164ste poging sy eerste PGA-toertitel verower deur die Toerkampioenskap en ook die FedEx-beker te wen. Die 34-jarige Fleetwood het drie houe vóór Patrick Cantlay en Russell Henley van Amerika geëindig. Hul landgenoot en die verdedigende kampioen, Scottie Scheffler, was met nóg 'n hou minder gesamentlik vierde. Fleetwood is die eerste speler in die FedEx-geskiedenis wat die Toerkampioenskap sy eerste titel maak. Hy sê dit voel goed om uiteindelik eerste te eindig:

(00:00) Golf Tips & Lobster Dinner Experiences This chapter takes us on a journey through a recent golf outing where John encountered an older golfer struggling with his iron shots. While John suspected ball position might be the issue, he humorously redirected the golfer to Jeff for expert advice. Before diving into golf tips, we switch gears to talk about an unexpected culinary adventure involving live Maine lobsters. Jeff recounts receiving the lobsters from a friend, not realizing they would arrive alive, and the experience of having them cooked to perfection by a club chef. This anecdote transitions into a plug for the Portland Lobster Company, where you can order live lobsters shipped directly to you, accompanied by a reminder to keep those rubber bands on their claws. This episode is a delightful mix of golf advice and culinary surprises, wrapped up with laughter and camaraderie. (10:38) Improving Iron Play Golf Techniques This chapter focuses on improving your golf game by mastering posture and balance, particularly when facing challenges with your iron shots. We explore the importance of maintaining a consistent and balanced posture for every club, from drivers to irons, and how this can significantly impact your swing and ball contact. I share practical tips on setting up your stance, such as checking your grip, ensuring your body and club are in balance, and aligning the ball position correctly relative to your stance. We also address common mistakes golfers make, like altering posture for different clubs, and emphasize that achieving one singular best posture is key to consistent performance on the course. (19:35) Practice Techniques for Better Golf Swing This chapter explores innovative techniques for improving your golf swing without relying on a ball, such as using pennies or tees to focus on swing mechanics and reduce tension. By shifting the focus away from the ball's destination, golfers can improve their swing fluidity and precision. We also share a personal anecdote about working with golfers on the course, highlighting the importance of real-world practice in improving performance. Additionally, we touch on the intricacies of the FedEx finals and the complexities of seeding players, drawing parallels with NCAA tournament seeding. The conversation offers insights into the challenges of designing a fair championship format while emphasizing the unpredictability and excitement inherent in golf. (25:13) Fairway Bunkers and Downhill Lies This chapter takes us onto the golf course at Talking Rock, where I engage with two golfers struggling with fairway bunkers, fairway balls below their feet, and downhill lies. We focus on practical strategies to tackle these challenges, starting with a hands-on session where we explore how to effectively manage a fairway bunker. We discuss the importance of assessing the sand's firmness, selecting the right club—often a hybrid for its wide sole plate in soft sand—and adjusting foot positioning for stability. I highlight the decision-making process before swinging, emphasizing the importance of ball positioning and bracing oneself on sand. This practical approach results in improved performance, demonstrating how informed decisions can lead to successful shots. (40:01) Achieving Perfect Swing Plane Sensation This chapter explores the transformative experience of a golfer who discovered the power of the "hinge and thump" technique to improve his swing. We discuss how introducing this method, which emphasizes getting the thumbs up on the backswing and then thumping the ground, helped the golfer hit better shots across various clubs—from wedges to drivers. Initially focused on steepening the swing, the golfer learned to prioritize the outcome of the ball over the appearance of his swing, realizing that despite feeling steep, his swing was perfectly on plane. This realization led to a breakthrough in his 40-year golfing journey, highlighting the importance of feel versus reality in achieving consistency and accuracy. (43:37) Improving Golf Swing Plane Simplified This chapter highlights the transformative impact of Jeff Smith's golf coaching, as shared through a story of a grateful client who improved his game after a lesson. We explore the nuances of golf swings with different clubs, focusing on the feeling of the shaft's vertical position. As we transition from wedges to longer clubs and fairway woods, I explain how the perceived verticality of the shaft can change and what that means for your swing. Tune in next week for more insights and tips to enhance your golfing experience, and remember, if you have any questions or need advice, reach out to us at weekendgolfguys@gmail.com.

⁠Trump's administration has placed an immediate pause on new commercial truck driver work visas⁠. Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited concerns that the increasing number of foreign drivers endangers American lives and undercuts American truckers' livelihoods, a decision that followed a fatal semi-truck crash in Florida and is supported by the ATA. A framework agreement was announced on Thursday to boost transatlantic economic ties and resolve trade imbalances. Under this deal, the ⁠EU will eliminate tariffs on all U.S. industrial goods⁠ and grant preferential market access for various American agricultural products, while the U.S. commits to applying a maximum 15% tariff rate on most EU goods. Furthermore, ⁠FedEx is turning its attention to Europe⁠, sending specialists from its U.S. ground, parcel, and freight units to streamline operations and improve efficiency, particularly in route planning and package efficiency. This initiative is a major part of FedEx's plan to cut an additional $1 billion in structural costs this fiscal year, building on the $4 billion already eliminated in the past two years. Finally, stay updated with FreightWaves TV, featuring new episodes of ⁠WHAT THE TRUCK?!?⁠ with Thomas Wasson and ⁠Running on Ice⁠ with Mary O'Connell airing today.

On this Thursday, August 21st, hear about the strategic merger between Workhorse Group and Motiv Electric Trucks, which aims to create one of North America's largest medium-duty electric truck original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) by combining their strengths in last-mile delivery and medium-duty vehicles. This all-stock transaction, valued at $5 million to approximately $105 million and expected to close in Q4 2025, is poised to target the $23 billion medium-duty truck market and generate at least $20 million in cost synergies by the end of 2026.  Richard Smith, son of FedEx's late founder Fred Smith, has been nominated for the company's board of directors, setting the stage for him to potentially follow in his father's footsteps as CEO. Currently serving as chief operating officer for FedEx Express International and Airline Operations, this nomination is widely seen as a key step in a succession plan, positioning him for increased responsibilities and to continue his father's legacy within the company.  Fraud-fighting tech company Highway has secured a strategic growth equity investment for its Carrier Identity platform, led by FTV Capital with additional funding from Lead Edge Capital. This investment aims to expand Highway's product suite and accelerate its growth in the freight brokerage market, providing crucial real-time carrier verification to help brokers combat skyrocketing fraud and improve efficiency within their networks.  Finally, don't miss out on upcoming FreightWaves events, including today's August state of freight webinar and the F3: Future of Freight Festival taking place in Chattanooga this October.

FedEx is undergoing a massive strategic overhaul, aiming to cut another $1 billion in costs this fiscal year, with a primary focus on its European operations. They are leveraging U.S. expertise, consolidating facilities, and heavily investing in AI and machine learning through their Dataworks team to boost efficiency and monetize data from millions of customers and packages daily. Next, we tackle the growing problems of supply chain fraud and data fragmentation, highlighting exciting new developments. Highway, a carrier verification platform, secured a strategic investment to expand its product suite, offering real-time verification and serving as a crucial first line of defense against skyrocketing fraud for over 1,050 brokers. Additionally, Loop and Data2Logistics have merged to address "dark data" by using Loop's AI-powered DUX platform to convert raw supply chain information into structured, usable intelligence, dramatically cutting invoice processing time and enhancing visibility into true supply chain costs. Shifting to the human and geopolitical factors, the freight landscape is experiencing significant labor shifts. Over 3,090 freight-related job cuts have been announced since July 18th across 12 states, affecting sectors like party goods, logistics, and auto parts due to bankruptcies, closures, and declining demand. On the trade front, the U.S. has expanded its 50% tariff on imported steel and aluminum to over 400 additional product categories, effective immediately, impacting goods like auto parts and railcars, prompting Mexico to seek an exemption. Finally, we examine a complex discussion on the rail side concerning border operations. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (BLET) president is pushing the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for mandatory crew changes at the U.S.-Mexico border, citing English proficiency and safety concerns, particularly regarding Mexican safety inspections. However, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) argues that current cross-border practices are safe, efficient, and create U.S. jobs, as non-U.S. crews are trained in U.S. rules and undergo vetting.
