Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Stream by AASHTO, George McCue, Emerging Mobility Assistant Director at the Indiana Department of Transportation, and Dr. Steven Pekarek, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, discuss a new electric vehicle project that seeks to create a wireless, electrified roadway that charges vehicles as they drive across the road. The pair discuss the science behind the project, the partnership between the university and Indiana DOT, and what it could mean for the future of electric vehicles.Episode NotesThis podcast series is part of the AASHTO Environmental Management technical service program operated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. It explores a wide array of environmental topics that affect state departments of transportation and the infrastructure programs they oversee.In this episode, George McCue with the Indiana DOT and Dr. Steven Pekarek from Purdue University are interviewed by Bernie Wagenblast regarding an electric vehicle charging project they are conducting under the auspices of the Joint Transportation Research Program. The project is testing a dynamic wireless power transfer or “DWPT” system, whereby transmitter coils underneath the road can send energy to an electric vehicle without ever having to plug it in – a power transfer system that is similar to wireless charger technology for smart phones.In West Lafayette, Indiana, Indiana DOT and Purdue have successfully tested a quarter mile of highway on U.S. Route 231 and U.S. Route 52 equipped with over 80 transmitter coils that carried charge to the test vehicle.On the podcast, McCue and Pekarek discuss the multi-faceted aspects of the DWPT project, including the economic viability of the project's technology, potential size limits of vehicles able to use the road, and working on public roadways that can see thousands of drivers daily. Both stress that this DWPT project could significantly expand the range of electric vehicles on U.S. highways.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the political firestorm surrounding the Trump Administration's double-tap strike on a Venezuelan narco boat, the escalating fight over Somali immigration and de-naturalization, the nationwide crackdown on unsafe foreign truck drivers, and a new plan to help American families have more children. Narco Boat Double Tap Becomes a Political Weapon: New reporting shows that SOCOM Commander Admiral Mitch Bradley ordered the second strike that killed two surviving cartel operatives after the initial hit on September 2. Republicans say it was a lawful action against confirmed narco-terrorists, while Democrats and Senator Rand Paul claim it may have violated rules of engagement. A lawsuit has now been filed by the family of one of the dead traffickers. Bryan argues the debate is being driven more by political rivalries than by legal facts.   Trump Escalates Fight Over Somali Migration: President Trump declared that Somali migrants who committed fraud or concealed their identities should be removed from the country and called Ilhan Omar and her political allies "garbage." Minnesota Democrats fired back, accusing Trump of racism and warning Somali residents to stay vigilant as ICE begins new removal operations focused on people with final deportation orders. Bryan explains the legal limits of de-naturalization and why it remains difficult without congressional reform.   De-Naturalization Concerns for Lawful Immigrants: In response to listener concerns, Bryan walks through federal rules on improper naturalization. Fraud, concealment, or a lack of "good moral character" during the citizenship process can lead to revocation, but the standard is high and must be proven in court. He notes that upcoming fights over the Senate filibuster will determine whether the administration can broaden those standards.   Federal Crackdown on Dangerous Foreign Truckers: The Department of Transportation found that thousands of CDL training programs, many catering to migrants, issued licenses without meeting basic standards. Nearly 3,000 schools face revocation within 30 days, and more than 4,000 others have been warned. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is pressuring states, including Minnesota and Texas, to end Obama-era rules that allowed truckers to pass without reading or speaking English.   Tax Refund Tightening and State Resistance: Treasury officials are closing loopholes that allowed illegal migrants to receive tax refunds, while the Department of Agriculture is withholding food stamp funds from states that refuse to share immigration data about recipients. New York, California, and Minnesota are preparing lawsuits to block the changes.   A Push to Raise America's Birthrate: The White House unveiled a private donation of $6.25 billion from the Dell family to boost "Trump Accounts," which offer savings for newborns and children under age 10. The accounts can later be used for education, home purchases, or starting a business. Bryan explains how the plan aims to counter America's record-low fertility rate and spark renewed interest in marriage and family life.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: double tap narco boat strike, Admiral Mitch Bradley SOCOM, Pete Hegseth unlawful orders debate, Trump Somali migrants Minnesota, Ilhan Omar de-naturalization rules, DOT migrant CDL crackdown, Sean Duffy licensing reforms, Treasury migrant tax refunds, Trump Accounts fertility initiative, Dell family donation

On Aon — Episode 97 Risk and Resilience in the Age of Autonomous VehiclesAutonomous vehicles and self-driving technology are no longer futuristic — they're transforming how we move today. As adoption accelerates worldwide, insurers face a new set of risks and opportunities. Jillian Slyfield, Aon's global chief innovation officer and global technology and digital economy leader, joins David Carlson, global industrials and manufacturing leader, to discuss key industry partnerships and the regulatory challenges shaping ride technology. Key Takeaways:Autonomous vehicles are moving from testing phases to everyday use, creating new considerations for transportation and risk management.Insurers now face the challenge of balancing multiple forms of liability — including product, auto and cyber — as technology reshapes mobility.Data is important as both a risk and an asset. Who collects it, who owns it and how it can be used will all be key, as will balancing the privacy issues around it. Experts in this episode:Jillian Slyfield — Global Chief Innovation Officer and Global Technology and Digital Economy Leader, AonDavid Carlson — Global Industrials and Manufacturing Leader, Aon Key moments: 0:45 The autonomous vehicles (AV) sector is expanding quickly — the industry is projected to grow from just over $100 billion in 2021 to more than $2 trillion by 2030, impacting how we think about mobility, risk and insurance. 10:40 The collection of data from autonomous vehicles will lead the way to better underwriting and faster claims adjudication in insurance. However, a big unresolved issue is who owns and can access this data. 15:00 Collaboration among insurers, brokers, fleet operators, OEMs and AV tech creators is at an all-time high and is critical to managing emerging risks. Additional Resources:Article: Navigating Risk in Transportation and Logistics: Gearing Up for Big Transitions | AonReport: Findings from Aon's Global Risk Management Survey | Tenth Edition Soundbites:  Jillian Slyfield:“But coverage is changing. I wouldn't say that we need new forms of coverage, but we do need to think differently about the coverage that's in place and how to put it together in the best possible way. Sometimes we say it's like a jigsaw puzzle. Let's make sure the pieces are in the right places.” David Carlson:“The reality is people are still car enthusiasts. People love to drive cars still. That's just a reality. And so, I think in time, these things will evolve and we'll see more adoption.”

Top Stories for November 29th Publish Date: November 29th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, November 29th and Happy Birthday to Vin Scully I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Piedmont Oncology Opens Early Detection Pancreatic Cancer Clinic, First of Its Kind in Georgia You can now use a digital driver’s license to buy beer, cigarettes in Georgia Musical events, attractions to get into the magical spirit of the holiday season All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia STORY 1: Piedmont Oncology Opens Early Detection Pancreatic Cancer Clinic, First of Its Kind in Georgia Piedmont Oncology just opened Georgia’s first Early Detection Pancreatic Cancer Clinic, and honestly, it’s a big deal. Pancreatic cancer is brutal—13% five-year survival rate, no screening test, vague symptoms that sneak up on you. But this clinic? It’s here to change that. Dr. Andrew Page, the clinic’s medical director, says early detection is everything. “Education about risk factors is critical,” he explained. The clinic will focus on genetic counseling, research collaborations with NIH and Mayo Clinic, and, hopefully, developing a much-needed screening test. None of this would’ve happened without donors like Purple Pansies. Their support is saving lives. STORY 2: You can now use a digital driver’s license to buy beer, cigarettes in Georgia Big news for Georgians: you can now use a digital driver’s license to buy alcohol, tobacco, and other age-restricted items. Yep, your phone just got even more useful. The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) announced the update Monday, calling it a “major step forward” in modernizing IDs. But here’s the catch: it’s up to individual businesses to accept them. No guarantees. Oh, and don’t try using a screenshot—doesn’t count. Retailers need a special mDL reader to scan the license, and staff still have to verify your age. Progress? Sure. Perfect? Not quite yet. STORY 3: Musical events, attractions to get into the magical spirit of the holiday season It’s that time again—holiday magic is everywhere, and Atlanta’s got no shortage of ways to celebrate. From concerts to tree lightings, here’s what’s happening: Holiday Shows at the FOX Theatre: Lauren Daigle’s Behold Christmas Tour (Dec. 4): Grammy-winning magic. Christmas Together (Dec. 6): Amy Grant, Cece Winans, and Michael W. Smith. A Drummer Boy Christmas (Dec. 8): for King + Country’s festive storytelling. Elf the Musical (Dec. 16–20): Buddy’s heartwarming journey. Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet (Dec. 23–24): Ballet meets acrobatics. Festive Attractions: Stone Mountain’s Flight to the North Pole (Nov. 8–Jan. 4): Help Santa save Christmas. Garden of Lights (Nov. 15–Jan. 11): Stroll through dazzling displays. Georgia Aquarium Holidays (Nov. 14–Jan. 2): Twinkling lights, Santa, and sea life. Don’t miss these great events! We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Student loan change could drain nurse pipeline, Ga. dean warns Nursing is no longer considered a “professional degree” by the U.S. Department of Education, and nurses are, understandably, furious. The change, tied to the “One Big Beautiful Bill”, means nursing students can’t access the $200,000 loan cap reserved for professional programs. Instead, they’re stuck with a $100,000 limit—less than what many need to cover tuition. Linda McCauley, dean of Emory’s Nursing School, didn’t hold back: “In a time when we desperately need more nurses, why make it harder? It feels like they didn’t think this through.” The fallout? Fewer nurses, more debt, and a lot of frustration. STORY 5: Flight delays: Here are your rights when flying over the holidays in 2025 Stuck at the airport? Here’s a tip: if your flight’s delayed more than three hours (domestic) or six hours (international), you’ve got rights. Travel expert Katy Nastro says airlines must offer a refund or rebook you—your choice. But here’s the catch: no double-dipping. You can’t get both. And meal vouchers? Only if the delay’s the airline’s fault, like staffing or mechanical issues. Hotels? Depends on the airline. The Department of Transportation even published a guide for what airlines owe you. Pro tip: screenshots of your license don’t count for ID. Break 3: BUFORD HOLIDAY FESTIVAL STORY 6: Forsyth school board approves use of same alarm system in place at Apalachee High School Forsyth County schools are stepping up safety with a $2.4 million Centegix alarm system, approved by the Board of Education this week. You’ve probably heard of these “panic alarms”—they’re the same system credited with the quick response during the tragic Apalachee High School shooting last year. Teachers and staff wear a button they can press in emergencies, instantly alerting law enforcement without fumbling for a phone. The system also includes color-coded strobe lights for visual alerts, ensuring ADA compliance. The first year’s cost? $420,000, with the rest spread over five years. Safety, it seems, is getting an upgrade. STORY 7: Recall alert: Honda recalls 256K vehicles for loss of power software error Honda’s recalling over 256,000 vehicles—specifically 2023–2025 Accord Hybrids—because of a software glitch that could cause the car to lose power mid-drive. Not ideal, right? The issue? The integrated control module’s CPU might reset itself while you’re cruising along. Dealers will fix it for free, though, so there’s that. Honda says owners will get a heads-up by mail starting Jan. 5, but if you’re the impatient type (or just worried), you can call them at 888-234-2138. Oh, and if you’re curious, the recall number is TN2. Stay safe out there!

In this episode, we speak with Billy Thalheimer, co-founder and CEO of REGENT, who shares how the company is redefining travel with their all-electric Seagliders. Thalheimer discusses:Solving the regional travel gap: How seagliders address the transportation problem on 50–200 mile coastal routes, creating a faster, cheaper, and greener alternative for the 40% of the world's population living in coastal communities.Three breakthrough technologies in one vehicle: How REGENT combines wing-in-ground effect aerodynamics, hydrofoil systems (providing five feet of wave tolerance).Maritime certification, not aviation: Why seagliders operate as vessels under Coast Guard and IMO jurisdiction rather than FAA oversight, with operators certificated as master mariners rather than pilots—solving the regional pilot shortage whilst creating a six-week training pathway for professional mariners.Commercial and defence applications at scale: How REGENT has secured over $10 billion in orders from airlines, ferry operators, and energy companies, with use cases ranging from commuter services to offshore wind farm logistics and military operations.Infrastructure advantage and electrification: Why existing docks can accommodate Seagliders with minimal modification, creating “high-speed rail without the billions in rail infrastructure” whilst leveraging emerging port electrification efforts from the cruise and ferry industries.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Nathan Millecam, President & CEO of Electric Power Systems (EP Systems), where he talks about designing the ideal battery to power electric aircraft.

Welcome back to another episode of Warehouse and Operations as a Career. I'm Marty, and today I want to talk about something a listener asked a few weeks ago. How does one choose a career, and more specifically, how do they end up in the light industrial, warehousing, and transportation fields.  One of the things I've learned over the decades is that very few people wake up at 18 years old and say, I'm going to be a forklift operator, or I'm going to build a career in a distribution center.  In my opinion most careers aren't chosen, they're found. They're shaped by our experiences, opportunities, influences, and sometimes just plain necessity.  But once people get here, once they get that first real taste of what this work is like, the stability, the opportunity, the teamwork, a lot of them stay. And that's what I'd like to talk about today.  Let's start with a simple truth: most people don't choose a career the way a high school guidance counselor might describe it. It's not a straight line.   It's often a mix of exposure, timing, skill, personality, and need.  Let me try and make that make sense. Many of us choose careers based on what we've seen growing up. If your parents, uncles, or neighbors worked in a warehouse or drove trucks, that's what you were exposed to. If your first job was unloading trucks at a retail store or working seasonal shifts for a local DC, that experience sticks with you. My father was president of a regional catalogue distribution center. From a young age I was exposed to the warehouse, all the inbound and outbound chaos and seeing all the equipment in action. I was in DECA in high school, my junior and senior years I went to school half a day and then off to work after that. Distributive Education Clubs of America was an eye opener for me and helped point me towards a work ethic I still hold today. Anyway, I digress a bit there. What was I talking about. Ok, I don't know where I was going, I think I wanted to mention my first jobs we're in a warehouse because I had an in to those distribution centers! All that's a story for another episode.    I think a lot of young people today enter this industry because a friend says, Hey, my place is hiring, or they hear that a local warehouse pays a few dollars more per hour than their retail job. That's what I mean by exposure.  You can't choose what you don't know exists.  Now, in our world, once someone takes that first general labor position or that first shift at loading trailers, something happens. They either realize it's not for them, or they say, You know what, I think I like this.  And that's often the moment their career begins, sometimes without them even realizing it.   Another major factor I mentioned earlier is need. Jobs are often chosen because someone needs a paycheck this week, not a degree three years from now. And that's one of the biggest advantages of the light industrial and warehousing world, it is accessible.  You don't need an ivy league education. You don't need months of training. A good staffing agency or warehouse can hire you, orient you, and get you earning a paycheck quickly in a week.  For someone supporting a family, or someone just starting out and needing to get on their feet, that's huge. A lot of careers begin because the industry said, we'll give you a chance right now.   People also lean into what they're naturally good at. Some people are hands-on workers. Some learn best by doing. Some have great attention to detail. Others thrive in louder, busier environments.  Warehousing fits a wide range of capabilities. If you like movement, there's selecting, loading, unloading. If you like operating equipment, there's forklift, rider pallet jacks, and PIT operation. If you're detail-oriented, there's inventory control and quality assurance. If you're a natural leader, there's a path from lead to supervisor to manager.  Many people choose this industry simply because they discover, sometimes accidentally  that the work fits who they are.  We sometimes forget that personality drives career choice as well. Some individuals do not want to sit at a desk. They don't want to be in customer service all day. They want to move, think, act, sweat, accomplish, and see their results.  Warehousing and transportation offer that. Every shift has a measurable outcome. Pallets moved. Trailers loaded. Orders filled. Goals hit or exceeded. For the right personality, that environment feels rewarding, even energizing.   And this might be the most important factor of all. A single person can completely influence someone's career path. Our mentors, even unknown mentors, have a lot more influence on us than we may realize. Maybe it was a supervisor who said, you'd be great on a forklift, let's get you trained. Maybe it was a lead who showed you how to wrap a pallet right and said, you're picking this up fast. Maybe it was a trainer who spent extra time showing you a safer way to work and said, I see potential in you, you'll be able to take my place one day. That's 3 true examples I experienced.  Those moments matter. They turn jobs into careers. They help people believe in themselves, sometimes for the first time.   And then let's be honest, sometimes people end up in a job simply because it was the easiest open door. They applied. They got hired. They started. And they stayed. And there's nothing wrong with that. Many long, successful careers begin by chance. But what matters is what happens after that first step.  So now, let's talk about why so many workers who enter this field end up staying and building entire careers here. There are a lot of reasons. Not everyone is meant for college. And not everyone wants it. Warehousing levels the playing field. You can start with a high school diploma, a GED, or just the willingness to learn. You don't need prior experience. You don't need certifications. You don't need years of training. If you show up consistently and work safely, the industry will teach you everything else. That opens doors for thousands of workers who want a real career but don't have access to college or technical schools or the time those commitments take to start earning.    One of the biggest advantages of our field is that advancement is based on performance, not the politics. A general laborer who works hard, shows up every day, and follows safety rules and procedures can move from position to position quickly. I see it all the time. General labor to Forklift operator, Forklift operator to Lead, Lead to Supervisor, Supervisor to Manager, and Manager to Operations leadership like Director or Vice president.   If you want to climb the ladder, the ladder is there, and it's real. I've seen people go from sweeping floors to running departments. I've even seen people go on to run entire facilities.  That's the beauty of this career path, you can grow as fast as your attitude and effort will carry you.  People sometimes think warehousing is just moving boxes. But as we've learned this last couple of quarters, this industry is incredibly diverse. There are roles in Equipment operation, Inventory control, Quality assurance, I should have made some notes here, what else, oh, Replenishment, Receiving, Shipping, Dispatch, Transportation, building Maintenance, and two of my favorites Safety, Training, many different Management positions, and even HR and recruiting.  The variety gives us workers options. We can grow sideways, upward, or into completely new areas, all within the same building. What other industry can give us all that!    And many entry-level associates discover quickly that general labor in a warehouse pays several dollars more per hour than retail or food service. Then they see the overtime opportunities. The shift premiums. And the potential bonuses. Suddenly, they're not just earning a paycheck, they're earning a living. I think this is one of the top reasons people stay. Warehousing and transportation reward productivity and effort. And that motivates workers to commit to the industry long-term. One of my opinions for free!   Some people need to feel accomplished. They want to look back at the end of the shift and say, everything is all wrapped up.  Warehousing gives them that. You see progress. You see results. You see the work you put in. You don't have to wonder if you made an impact, you can see it in the cases picked, pallets stacked, trailers loaded, and shift goals achieved. That sense of accomplishment always kept me coming back for the next shift.  And It's a Stable, Growing Industry Let's face it, the supply chain isn't going anywhere. Even during recessions, warehouses keep running. Even during pandemics, trucks keep moving. People always need, Food, home Products, Medications, and Supplies. And as e-commerce continues to grow, so does the demand for distribution centers, fulfillment centers, cross-docks, last-mile delivery, and transportation. Workers like stability. They like knowing their job will still be here tomorrow. Warehousing and the supply chain offers that.  And this industry teaches skills we can take anywhere, equipment operation, Safety practices, systems and RF scanners, Inventory processes, Quality checks, Time management, the importance of accuracy and Leadership and communication. These aren't just job skills, there our they're career skills. And once you have them, you're employable in almost any warehouse or distribution environment across the country.  Another thing I've always loved about the industry is how Warehouses are often 24/7 operations. That means people can choose shifts that work best for them and the family, mornings, afternoons, nights, weekends, or rotating even schedules. For young parents, students, or workers with second jobs, that flexibility can be a major advantage.  I feel, when you look at the big picture, people choose warehousing, light industrial, and transportation careers because they see opportunity. These industries offer that chance to start immediately, a chance to earn a good wage, the opportunity to grow fast and to learn valuable skills that can support our family and to build a long-term, stable career.  And the most important part? They provide it to anyone willing to work, show up, stay safe, and take pride in what they do. So, if you're new to this industry or you're just getting started, or if you're trying to find your path, know this. You don't have to have all the answers today. You don't need to have your life all figured out. You just need to start. Build skills. Learn. Ask questions. Show up. Stay safe. Take pride in your work.    As you know I could talk about operations all day, so I'll move on and say thanks for joining me today, and thanks for being part of an industry that keeps America running. Until next week, stay safe, stay focused, and keep building your career one shift at a time!

What would the freight industry look like if we all spoke the same digital language? And how much time and money could we save if billing, visibility, and documentation finally flowed in real time? Today, Keith Peterson from NMFTA shares the launch of the Digital Standards Development Council, one of the biggest steps our industry has taken in years toward unified terminology and API standardization! Keith and I talk about eliminating confusion around basic terms, replacing paper bills of lading with real API-driven E-BOLs, cutting integration costs with one API standard, and bringing true billing transparency through real-time freight charge updates. With new API products for E-BOL, visibility, invoicing, and claims hitting public release soon—and major players already adopting the framework—we're heading toward a future where automation, speed, and collaboration become the norm while relationships stay front and center!  

It is our honor to welcome back Governor Mike Dunleavy of Alaska. We last hosted the Governor on COBT in May of 2023 (episode linked here), and there has been much to cover since our last visit. Governor Dunleavy is Alaska's 12th Governor and was first elected in 2018 (and again in 2022). He moved to Alaska in 1983 and served as a teacher, principal, and superintendent in Arctic communities before his 5-year term as a State Senator from 2013 to 2018. Throughout his career, Governor Dunleavy has been committed to opening Alaska to new business and investment. We were thrilled to host the Governor to explore the latest energy developments in Alaska, what's top of mind for the state, and more. In our conversation, we explore Alaska as an “energy laboratory” given the state's unique mix of energy production, policy, federal lands, abundance of water, technology, and geopolitics. We discuss the impact of shifting federal administrations on Alaska, the scale and federal ownership of its land, and the statehood mandate to develop its resources to fund government operations. We examine the need for legislative reform to address the problems of both “lawfare” and permitting, the growing opportunity around rare earths and critical minerals in Alaska, the benefits of the federal government as an equity partner, mining as a national security issue, post-COVID workforce shifts, and the renewed importance of trade work and skilled labor. Gov. Dunleavy shares his perspective on affordability and energy prices in Alaska, current issues around the need for more gas supply and potential LNG imports, and the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline (AGLNG Glenfarne Project). He outlines his vision for Alaska's future as a premier location for AI data centers and its ambition to be the data transportation capital of the world. We touch on Alaska's desire to “create the future” rather than simply react to it, the role and gatekeeping power of the Army Corps of Engineers in 404 water permits, and Alaska's strategic position as “America's fort” in the Arctic. We also discuss the Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference, with its fifth iteration taking place in May 2026, which Veriten is excited to attend. We greatly enjoyed hosting Governor Dunleavy and look forward to staying in touch. To start the show, Mike Bradley highlighted that markets continue to be volatile from week to week. On the bond market front, the 10-year bond yield has traded down to under 4% on optimism that Kevin Hassett looks to be the frontrunner for Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Hassett is considered more dovish and so markets are responding positively, at least initially, for the potential of additional interest rate cuts in 2026. On the broader equity market front, the DJIA was also up 500-600 points on optimism that more interest rate cuts are coming in 2026 despite US economic readings being a bit mixed. On the oil market front, WTI price is now trading under $58/bbl due to continued concerns of a global oil oversupply situation in 2026 (anywhere from 2- 4mmbpd) and potentially into 2027. JPM jumped further onto the bearish oil bandwagon this week, indicating that oil prices in 2027 could trade under $40/bbl. He closed by noting that some initial momentum for a Russia/Ukraine peace plan has also weighed on oil prices this week. Thanks again to Governor Dunleavy for sharing his time and for a fantastic discussion. Please stay tuned for a Special Edition COBT episode publishing on Thanksgiving Day! Our best to you all.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Eleanor Boba, a public historian based in Seattle who recently discovered that the large bronze commemorative plaque for the Interstate 90 Homer Hadley Bridge across Lake Washington is missing. Homer Hadley is the Seattle-based engineer credited with the idea for a concrete floating bridge, and for the design of the original 1940 Lacey V. Murrow Lake Washington Floating Bridge (which sank on November 25, 1990 while undergoing renovation). The bridge named for Hadley was opened to vehicle traffic circa 1990, though it was not officially dedicated to him until July 17, 1993. We've shared photos of the plaque - which the Washington State Department of Transportation tells CASCADE OF HISTORY they are not able to locate - and the now empty plinth to which it was attached for many years, at the CASCADE OF HISTORY Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/cascadeofhistory For more information, please see Eleanor Boba's Blog Post: https://remnantsofourpast.blogspot.com/2025/11/on-beaten-path-tracing-i-90-trail-in.html CASCADE OF HISTORY has reached out to Homer Hadley's descendants to gather their reaction to news of the missing plaque, but as of Monday, November 24, 2025, we have not yet heard back.

Episode: 1477 A horseless carriage offered to Anne Boleyn.  Today, we offer Anne Boleyn an automobile.

Experts at the Trimble Insight conference are forecasting a "significant reduction" in employment levels as rapidly maturing AI tools become cheaper and more efficient than human workers. This technological shift is already translating into measurable gains, with companies like C.H. Robinson openly connecting rising profitability directly to a shrinking workforce. However, achieving the full strategic potential of AI requires clean and comprehensive data, meaning much of the current investment is directed toward routine tasks that don't rely on perfect data, such as calling drivers or getting quotes. Regulation is increasing alongside technological pressure where the Department of Transportation is developing a data-driven severity scoring system to proactively identify and shut down dangerous "chameleon carriers". This federal crackdown will flag patterns of fraud, including shared addresses and recycled phone numbers, while also reflecting heightened attention to operational risks, such as the electrical fire that shut down four terminals at the Port of Los Angeles following an explosion on the ONE Henry Hudson. We also analyze the high-stakes future of North American rail with the proposed Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern merger necessary to compete effectively with the evolving trucking sector. Nevertheless, analysts are highly skeptical of the forecast for 10% volume growth within three years given the rail industry's decade of flat volume, ensuring the Surface Transportation Board will conduct a stringent and independent review. Finally, we touch upon the tentative contract agreement reached between Canada Post and its largest union after two years of contentious talks, which came right after Canada Post reported a record quarterly loss of $385 million. Ultimately, the intense demands from AI and the new government scrutiny raise a critical question for managers across the supply chain: how quickly will clean data become the single most defining competitive advantage in the entire freight ecosystem?
