In this episode, we kick things off by examining a brutal new wave of financial distress hitting the transportation and logistics sector. Over the past ten days, trucking companies, truck dealers, and logistics providers have filed for bankruptcy protection while hundreds of workers faced layoffs nationwide. Notable filings include Laredo-based Triple RRR Carriers, a cross-border trucking company that operated a fleet of 177 power units, and Dallas-area logistics provider Alan Ritchey Inc., which will lay off 232 employees beginning in September. Next, we shift to the truckload sector where a strategic acquisition is poised to expand growth opportunities across the Southeast. Chattanooga-based F2F Transport announced that it has been acquired by LRT Group, a Fort Payne, Alabama-based transportation holding company focused on building transportation-based businesses. The move is expected to create new opportunities for growth and expanded service offerings, including increased access to dedicated freight opportunities for F2F's network of owner-operators. Finally, we explore a closely watched freight index that is signaling a positive inflection point may finally be on the horizon. According to a Monday report from Cass Information Systems, a positive inflection in freight shipments now appears likely after 40 months of year-over-year declines. The multimodal shipments component of the Cass Freight Index dipped just 1.2% year over year in May, the smallest decline in 18 months. Assuming historical seasonal trends, the index is projected to log a 1.8% year-over-year increase in the back half of 2026.

Many trucking companies have endured a prolonged freight downturn, but specialized bulk carriers are experiencing a different cycle. In this episode of the Talking Transports podcast, Autumn Transport CEO Julie Andrich joins Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst Lee Klaskow to discuss how the company’s focus on food, feed, agricultural and industrial bulk freight has insulated it from much of the volatility affecting traditional truckload markets. Andrich explains how Autumn’s owner-operator model and long-term customer relationships have supported growth and pricing stability. She also discusses capacity tightening from regulatory enforcement, investments in AI and workflow automation, and why service, driver relationships and niche expertise remain key competitive advantages in an evolving freight market.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode Laura visits Cardiff to see what the Welsh capital city is doing for cycling and making the city greener and more resilient in the face of extreme weather. In 2015 Greener Grangetown was completed a city centre project to improve water management and reduce huge volumes of water being transported to water processing plants, and to improve flood resilience. 12 Victorian streets were transformed, and the UK's first cycle street was built, with more than 100 trees planted, safer junctions and improved pavements.In 2019, the Senedd, the devolved government of Wales, enacted legislation to mandate flood management measures on any construction that impacts an area of 100m2 or more. This means developers have to include natural water management measures, like SuDS - sustainable drainage systems - which are highly technical planted areas, which sit alongside roads, cycle routes and pavements. Since then, it is understood that thousands of housing developments have been impacted. The result in Cardiff is an increasingly green city - but it all takes money and time to implement, and progress on Cardiff's cycle network is not as fast as campaigners would like.Laura talks to, in orderSimon Dooley, Team Leader - Flood and Coastal Risk Management at Cardiff Council.Cllr Dan De'Ath, Cardiff Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Strategic Planning & Transport,Daffydd Trystan, newly-elected Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness and the Constitution and Member of the Senedd (MS)Hamish Belding, of FRideDays Bike Bus project coordinatorLinks:Wales' sustainable drainage legislation, which came into effect in 2019, and how Welsh councils can apply them.And English standards, which aren't mandatoryAbout Cardiff's Dock Feeder Canal projectCastle Street in the city centre is Cardiff's latest cycleway with rain gardens.Greener Grangetown was 108 rain gardens removing 40,000m3 volume of surface water from the combined sewer system.Wood Street by the Principality Stadium is 16 rain gardens, 15 tree pits - removing 6,800 m2 of impermeable area from the combined sewer.The Existing and future network of cycle routes in Cardiff is shown in the Active Travel Network Map which can be viewed on DataMapWales by following this link - Active Travel Network Maps | DataMapWales.

Why is it so hard to stop people playing vides, music or phone calls out loud on public transport — and what does that tell us about changing human behaviour? Show Summary This episode of The Human Risk Podcast is a little different. It is a cross-cast from The Freewheeling Podcast, hosted by Thomas Ableman, in which I join Thomas to tackle a problem raised by the show's most important listener: his mum.The issue? People using phones, videos, music and speaker calls out loud on trains and buses. What begins as a seemingly small transport etiquette problem quickly becomes a much bigger conversation about social norms, antisocial behaviour, customer experience, incentives, enforcement and the limits of signage. In our discussion, we explore why simply telling people to stop may not work, how reactance can make things worse, and why transport operators need to think more creatively about behaviour change.Along the way, we consider quiet carriages, “electronic entertainment carriages”, cheap headphones, better-targeted messaging, staff intervention, social media campaigns and the wider question of whether public transport operators are responsible for the behaviour of the humans they carry.The Freewheeling Podcast The Freewheeling Podcast  is a show for transport change-makers. It explores how we can move forwards faster, bringing listeners fresh voices, new ideas and unconventional thinking.While it has a strong focus on transport and mobility, the show also ranges into entrepreneurship, politics, public policy, cities and how systems can be designed to work better for the people who use them.Links The Freewheeling Podcast - https://www.freewheeling.info/the-freewheeling-podcastThomas on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasableman/

The Labour Party made its first big policy pledge ahead of November's election - a $20 weekly cap on public transport fares in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, and $10 everywhere else in the country. Reporter Matthew Theunissen visited some major transport hubs to see how it was received.

Labour's pushing back on the suggestion its numbers don't add up for a proposed cap on bus and train fares. The party's promising to cap fares at $20 a week in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch, and $10 elsewhere. It's estimated to cost $65 million a year – the funding coming from the Land Transport Fund. Transport spokesperson Tangi Utikere told Heather du Plessis-Allan the amount's calculated by looking at current public transport numbers. He says there are people who only take monthly or weekly trips, and the overall goal is to help households doing it tough. Utikere says regular commuters could save about $1,200 a year.

New data shows former politicians are taking the taxpayers for a ride. A new article in the Spinoff has revealed the Government has been spending around $300,000 per year to provide Crown limousines to former Prime Ministers and their spouses - even though the service goes mostly unused. Remuneration Authority chair Geoff Summers says it's unclear if these costs could be cut as a result. "All it says is that when a person stops being a Prime Minister, as the Royal Commission said way back then - it inevitably attracts obligations of a social nature that don't disappear with retirement."

Blind Low Vision NZ's head of policy and advocacy Bronwyn Larkins spoke to Lisa Owen.

Wellington Travel Guide: Why I Spent a Year Living in New Zealand's CapitalWellington is one of my favourite cities in the world, and in this episode I'm sharing exactly why.I first visited New Zealand's capital in 2013 on the Kiwi Experience and instantly connected with the city. In 2017, when Emma and I arrived in New Zealand on a working holiday visa, we spent weeks road-tripping around both islands before deciding where to settle. I already had my sights set on Wellington, and thankfully Emma fell in love with it too. We ended up spending nearly a year living there, giving us the chance to experience the city far beyond the typical tourist highlights.In this Wellington travel guide, I share the places, experiences and local tips that made the city so special to us. From riding the iconic Wellington Cable Car and exploring Te Papa Museum to walking the waterfront, climbing Mount Victoria and discovering all parts of the city, I cover the attractions that I think every visitor should experience.Of course, no episode about Wellington would be complete without talking about coffee and brunch. This is the city where my love of coffee began, and over the course of 11 months I worked my way through more cafés than I can count. I share my favourite spots for brunch, great coffee, waterfront views and local atmosphere, including some long-time Wellington institutions that I still think about today.I also dive into the practical side of visiting and living in Wellington, including where to stay, the best neighbourhoods to base yourself, transport options, day trips, travelling between the North and South Islands, and what it was like finding work while on a New Zealand working holiday visa. If you're considering moving to Wellington or spending time there as a backpacker, digital nomad or working holiday traveller, there's plenty here for you.Along the way, I share some personal stories from our time living in the city, including working in government ministries, surviving a late-night earthquake, becoming known as the office "serial monster", buying a $1,000 road-trip car and somehow making a profit when it was written off.Whether you're planning your first visit to Wellington, preparing for a New Zealand working holiday, or simply looking for inspiration for your next trip, this episode will give you an honest look at one of the most creative, quirky and liveable cities I've ever experienced.In this episode:• Why Wellington became our home for nearly a year• The best things to do in Wellington• My favourite cafés, brunch spots and coffee roasters• Where to stay and the best neighbourhoods to explore• Working holiday and job-hunting advice• Transport tips and South Island connections• Road-trip recommendations and day trips• Stories from everyday life in New Zealand's capitalSupport Winging It Travel PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Leave a 5-star rating or review on your podcast app☕ Support the show at buymeacoffee.com/wingingit

Uber opent in Londen een wachtlijst voor zelfrijdende taxiritten met de Britse start-up Wayve. Daarmee mengt het bedrijf zich in een race met Alphabet-dochter Waymo, dat sinds een aantal weken al test in de Britse hoofdstad. Stijn Goossens bespreekt het in deze Tech Update. Uber opende vandaag een interesselijst in zijn app waarop gebruikers zich kunnen aanmelden voor zelfrijdende ritten. De technologie komt van Wayve, een in Londen gevestigde start-up die de zogeheten AI Driver levert. Uber bezit en exploiteert het wagenpark zelf en ontwierp het interieur, onder meer touchscreens die 64 talen ondersteunen, in een zwarte Ford Mustang Mach-E. Bij de start zit er nog een veiligheidschauffeur achter het stuur. Een exacte datum voor de lancering ontbreekt; Uber spreekt over 'de komende maanden', onder voorbehoud van toestemming van de toezichthouder. De concurrentie is al verder. Waymo rijdt sinds april met circa honderd Jaguar I-Pace's en veiligheidsoperators door de stad en wil in het derde kwartaal van 2026 een passagiersdienst lanceren. Pikant is dat Uber en Waymo in de Verenigde Staten sinds 2023 samenwerken, terwijl ze in Londen tegenover elkaar staan. In Groot-Brittannië koos Uber juist voor Wayve als partner. De timing volgt op een beleidswijziging. Het Britse ministerie van Transport vervroegde het vergunningskader voor commerciële zelfrijdende pilots naar het voorjaar van 2026, jaren eerder dan gepland. Londense black-cab-chauffeurs zijn sceptisch over auto's die leren rijden uit data. Of de techniek het in de complexe Europese verkeerssituatie snel gaat redden, blijft de vraag. Verder in deze Tech Update Cliëntgegevens van bewindvoerders blijken eenvoudig te achterhalen via slecht beveiligde, oude e-maildomeinen, blijkt uit onderzoek van RTL Nieuws. Een ethisch hacker registreerde verlopen domeinen die na fusies en overnames waren achtergelaten en kon zo binnenkomende mail van 258 dossiers inzien, met bankgegevens, salarisinformatie en aanmaningen van juist kwetsbare mensen. Volgens een bewindvoerder is de oorzaak besparing: het beveiligen van twaalf domeinen kost zo'n 120 euro per jaar. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A wide-ranging edition of Overdrive examines how transport policy, motoring costs and changing consumer behaviour are reshaping Australian mobility. David Brown and Paul Murrell debate apartment parking mandates, shifting new-car pricing, church-based car sharing and whether high-speed buses could outperform costly rail projects. They also unpack the risks and realities of extended warranties, political “U-turns”, Jaguar's controversial EV naming strategy and road test the latest Suzuki Swift hybrid hatch. Parking Policy, Warranty Risks, Reimagining Buses Episode Breakdown • Apartment Parking Debate — 00:01 • Car Discounts and Market Shifts — 00:23 • Church Car Sharing Trial — 00:34 • High-Speed Bus Concept — 00:43 • Extended Warranty Concerns — 00:56 • Jaguar's “Type Zero 1” Naming — 01:42 • Suzuki Swift Hybrid Review — 01:48 Apartment Parking Debate The program opens with discussion around a Grattan Institute report claiming mandatory parking minimums are adding major costs to apartment developments. David Brown and Paul Murrell argue the issue is more complex than headline figures suggest, particularly when balancing resident needs, on-street congestion and transport alternatives. They question whether governments should dictate parking requirements or let the market decide, while also warning against simplistic “one-size-fits-all” urban planning policies. The broader conversation explores density, public transport limitations and the social cost of inadequate parking infrastructure. Car Discounts and Market Shifts The hosts note a dramatic turnaround in the new-car market, with manufacturers now offering aggressive EOFY incentives after years of shortages and waiting lists. Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are seeing especially heavy discounting. They discuss negotiation tactics, depreciation concerns and how sudden price cuts affect both new and used vehicle values. The conversation also touches on how emissions rules may influence future vehicle pricing and fleet choices. Church Car Sharing Trial A University of Sydney project involving church-based car sharing sparks discussion about community transport behaviour. The idea encourages parishioners to travel together rather than individually, potentially reducing congestion, parking demand and emissions. Brown argues these initiatives work best when practical benefits are demonstrated rather than simply promoted as moral obligations. The segment also revisits broader themes of social connection, community responsibility and smarter transport use. High-Speed Bus Concept California's proposal for high-speed buses using dedicated freeway lanes prompts debate about whether buses deserve renewed attention as efficient transport solutions. The hosts compare the concept with the escalating costs of high-speed rail projects in both the US and Australia. Murrell argues buses offer greater flexibility and potentially lower infrastructure costs, while Brown highlights the limitations of rail when destinations lie outside major corridors. Comfort, practicality and regional connectivity become key themes. Extended Warranty Concerns A listener's question about a costly Mercedes-Benz extended warranty leads to an in-depth discussion about warranty value, exclusions and servicing obligations. The hosts explain how third-party warranties can create complications and why consumers must carefully read conditions. They also explore dealer incentives, manufacturer goodwill claims and the importance of documented servicing history. The segment stresses calm negotiation and escalation to manufacturers where legitimate faults arise outside formal warranty periods. Jaguar's “Type Zero 1” Naming Jaguar's naming strategy for its upcoming EV receives a sceptical response. Brown and Murrell question the logic behind “Type Zero 1”, arguing it disrupts Jaguar's established naming heritage such as C-Type and E-Type. The discussion broadens into branding, language structure and how overcomplicated product names often require unnecessary explanation — a sign, they suggest, of weak marketing execution. Suzuki Swift Hybrid Review The latest Suzuki Swift hybrid is assessed as an affordable, efficient and practical hatchback that remains true to its roots. The hosts praise its value, compact dimensions and real-world usability, while acknowledging compromises in refinement and safety technology. They discuss hybrid efficiency, suspension design, pricing and the continued appeal of small hatchbacks in a market dominated by SUVs. Safety ratings and consumer attitudes toward crash protection also receive close attention.

Dr. Stroope is an Assistant Professor in the School of Kinesiology at Louisiana State University. Stroope's research includes three overlapping areas: co-benefits of active transportation, public health approaches to increasing rural physical activity, and access to nature, with an overarching interest in how physical activity contributes to community thriving. Stroope is on the leadership team for the Physical Activity Policy, Research, and Evaluation Network (PAPREN) Rural Hub and serves on the Dissemination and Translation Board for the U Mass Prevention Research Center. Before joining the LSU School of Kinesiology, she spent ten years working for Cooperative Extension, with most of those years serving as the LSU AgCenter's physical activity specialist. In that role, she partnered with Extension agents, small towns, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, rural librarians, schools and other community partners to increase access to physical activity, with a particular focus on helping communities pursue funding for active transportation infrastructure. Description In this episode of the Elevate Yourself podcast, Rob sits down with Dr. Jessica Stroope to discuss how communities can be designed to support healthier, more active lives. Drawing from her experiences in public health, Cooperative Extension, and community-based research, Jessica explores the powerful role that active transportation, access to nature, and the built environment play in shaping physical activity behaviors. She shares lessons learned from working with rural communities, transportation departments, schools, libraries, and local leaders to create environments where movement is a natural part of everyday life. The conversation highlights how seemingly small environmental changes can have a meaningful impact on health outcomes, why partnerships across sectors are essential, and how community design influences far more than physical activity alone. Whether you're interested in public health, community development, or simply creating places where people can thrive, this episode offers practical insights into building more accessible and active communities.

Guests: Don Simms and Chris Newey Host: Dave Homewood Recorded: ‎1st of June ‎2026 Released: 6th of June 2026 Duration: 55 minutes 27 seconds “Maximum Effort” was a docu-drama made by the Ministry of Information during WWII about a crew of a No. 75 (NZ) Squadron Avro Lancaster bomber based at RAF Mepal in mid-1944. In this episode Dave Homewood, Don Simms and Chris Newey discuss the making of this film, the real life characters who appear as themselves, and the Lancaster that is featured, ND752. Portions of the original film footage, along with original black and white and recently colourised photographs are used to illustrate the discussion. This all-but-forgotten film is an amazing time capsule showing life at RAF Mepal, near Ely, Cambridgeshire, which became a little bit of New Zealand back in 1944-45. NOTE: It is recommended that you watch the original 18 minute “Maximum Effort” first, and the watch the WONZ 354 Maximum Effort video. There is an audio podcast version of the latter but the video is much more satisfying. Above: Avro Lancaster ND752 of No. 75 (NZ) Squadron as features in Maximum Effort, as the Whitting Crew’s regular aircraft. This is a colourisation from an original black and white from the collection of the late Bomb Aimer and New Zealand Bomber Command Association President Ron Mayhill DFC.

Hand-delivering a paper flower arrangement looks simple from the outside, until you are standing in your driveway realizing the giant blooms you spent weeks building will not fit in your downsized car. In this episode, Quynh, Jessie, and Sara open up about their real-world transport systems, the trial-and-error moments that shaped them, and the surprisingly small tools that make a big difference. “I put it in a box, then on a no-slip rubber mat, then in a crate, and then I wrap a towel around it. Even if I have to brake hard, the vase will not fall over.” - Quynh From wholesale market boxes and no-slip rubber mats to collapsible carts, radio flyer wagons, and the humble tablecloth that turns a chaotic backstage into a clean booth, this is a tactical episode packed with tips you can use the next time you deliver an arrangement, set up at an art fair, or teach a workshop on the road. “If it is for a show or exhibition and the piece will also be sold, the box has to be big enough to hold packing materials, so the buyer can take it home that same day.” - Jessie They also share a few favorite finds: Sara is hooked on snail mail subscriptions (and just launched her own), Jessie shares an update on the Werola extra-fine crepe paper artist line she, Quynh, and a fellow artist have been co-developing for three years, and Quynh raves about a Bellevue bubble tea spot called Unique Greens. Here's what we cover in this episode: Why hand delivery is often the safer (and more trusted) option for paper florists Sara's collapsible system for transporting giant paper flowers Quynh's layered method: vase box, no-slip mat, crate, towel brace Jessie's approach to packing for shows where the flower may also be sold Why your paper flowers are usually sturdier than people assume The Amazon collapsible cart Quynh swears by for art fairs and workshops Using painter's paper from Home Depot to protect workshop tables The tablecloth trick that turns any backstage corner into a clean booth Why a two-hour delivery buffer is a gift to your future self Designing collapsible flower structures for reusable client backdrops “The biggest thing I learned with giant flowers is that I need to make them collapsible. If the structure cannot come apart and go back together, you cannot really transport it.” - Sara Resources and links mentioned Collapsible two-tier cart with crates (search Amazon for collapsible rolling cart with platform) Radio Flyer wagon (an underrated transport option) Home Depot painter's paper rolls (brown and dusty pink) Werola extra-fine crepe paper artist line (launching soon, carried in the US by Petals and Pearls Design and Rose Mille) Unique Greens bubble tea (Bellevue, WA) — orange jasmine tea with tea jelly, zero sugar Sara's new snail mail subscription service The Best Thing We Bought that Bring Us Joy Quynh: UG Unique Green Tea Jessie: Werola Artist Line Extra Fine Crepe Paper Paper Talk is supported by our community of readers and listeners.
