The Great Freight Recession continues its relentless purge in the carrier sector, claiming Illinois-based VIB Trans, a 29-truck carrier, as the ⁠latest casualty to file for Chapter 11 amid deeply depressed spot rates and relentlessly high operating costs⁠. This pain is accelerating due to an 18% drop in freight volumes coupled with immense overcapacity, driven by 310,000 new trucks and 200,000 new CDLs added to the system since 2019. Strategic experts are anticipating the ⁠Largest capacity purge in history coming⁠ as new regulations tighten enforcement around non-domiciled CDLs and ELP requirements. This regulatory squeeze could eliminate up to 600,000 active drivers from the system, potentially leading to sharp volatility spikes and market rationalization that ultimately benefits surviving carriers with higher pay and increased freight rates. While carriers fight for survival, the brokerage world is thriving, ⁠C.H. Robinson again is strong, and Wall Street throws roses⁠ after the company posted extremely strong third-quarter performance, including a 22.6% increase in income from operations. C.H. Robinson's core North American Surface Transport segment successfully grew combined truckload and LTL volume by 3%, demonstrating significant market share growth against a declining industry benchmark. In strategic updates, ⁠UPS is reversing its costly insourcing strategy for low-budget shipments⁠, tentatively agreeing to UPS, Postal Service to reunite for delivery of low-budget shipments via the USPS last-mile network. This reversal acknowledges that UPS's internal cost structure struggled to compete, especially after Ground Saver volume plummeted nearly 33% year-over-year. Internationally, the U.S. and China suspended ⁠punitive reciprocal fees on docking ships for one year amid trade talks⁠, which were originally imposed to revive U.S. shipbuilding. Plus, we cover immediate executive changes at CSX as CEO Steve Angel switches up leadership, ⁠naming Kevin Boone CFO and promoting Mary Clare Kenny to Chief Commercial Officer⁠.

Welcome back to another episode of “Okay, Last Try.” This was probably the most fun episode we've done of the show, mainly because our guest just so happens to be one of our best friends, Mike Regan. Mike's introduction to working in skating was working in the warehouse of Chapman Skateboards. If you have Bronze gear, he packed that. If you've had a Zoo York, Alltimers, Theories, or Chapman, chances are, he printed it. And if you ever got a board gripped at the shop, he probably gripped it for you. After that, Mike began working for USPS, and has plenty of insane stories from the mail game that we had to ask about. We also played a quick game with Mike to test out his skate video knowledge. Hope you enjoy! Follow Mike on IG. You can listen to and follow the podcast here chirp.me/okltHost: Larry LanzaProducer: John Testa Artwork: Lindsay Brett

In this episode of The Best Dam Podcast, Jill is joined by Tim Knifton of RSVP Las Vegas. Tim breaks down the powerful and surprisingly effective world of targeted direct mail. He explains how his company helps businesses reach the top 30% of homeowners with a luxury postcard pack that gets opened, used, and appreciated.From astonishing success stories of clients achieving multi-million dollar returns to the science behind why even Gen Z loves tangible mail, Tim provides a masterclass in creating a cost-effective, high-impact marketing strategy. He also shares the Chamber's new initiative to create a dedicated Boulder City mailer, offering local businesses a unique opportunity to reach affluent customers in the greater Las Vegas valley.DISCUSSIONTargeted Luxury Mail: Tim explains that RSVP Las Vegas specializes in sending a luxury postcard pack to the wealthiest 30% of homeowners, providing a focused and thoughtful alternative to the "shotgun approach" of mass advertising.The Power of the Coupon: Tim shares a story about a resident in a $4 million home who called to ask about his missing $5 ice cream coupon, proving the effectiveness of this marketing tool across all income levels.Shared Mail is Smart Mail: Learn why a shared postcard pack is about 20 times more cost-effective than mailing a solo postcard.The Boulder City Initiative: The Boulder City Chamber is partnering with RSVP to create a dedicated mailer to promote local businesses and events, like the Best Dam Wine Walk, to target markets in Henderson and Las Vegas. The goal is to sign up 40 local businesses to launch the packet.Guaranteed Visibility: Tim reveals a fun fact: because the RSVP pack is considered "non-machinable" by the postal service, it must be placed on top of the rest of the mail, guaranteeing it's the first thing a homeowner sees.Data-Driven Targeting: RSVP uses public data and a proprietary system to verify home ownership, ensuring that advertisements for services like home improvement reach actual decision-makers and not renters.Why Gen Z Loves Direct Mail: Citing a USPS study, Tim explains that 91% of Gen Z consumers appreciate the tangibility of direct mail. It offers a break from digital overload and requires 20% less brainpower to process than a digital ad.Proven Success Stories: Tim shares incredible client results, a new business that went from having no jobs booked to being booked out for a full month within a week of the mailer hitting homes.The Five-Channel Rule: Tim advises business owners to have at least five different sources for generating leads (e.g., direct mail, social media, radio). .From Newspaper Boy to Entrepreneur: Tim shares how his first job delivering newspapers in his rural California community gave him an early appreciation for the power of distributing information directly into people's hands.LEARN MORETo learn more about RSVP Las Vegas, visit www.rsvplasvegas.com.KEYWORDSTim Knifton, RSVP Las Vegas, Direct Mail, Postcard Marketing, Small Business, Lead Generation, The Best Dam Podcast, Boulder City Chamber of Commerce#TimKnifton #RSVPLasVegas #DirectMail #PostcardMarketing #TheBestDamPodcast #BoulderCityChamberofCommerce

Warum wird über den wichtigsten SEO-Hebel so wenig geredet? Als Volltextsuchmaschine benötigt Google Inhalte, um deine Seiten richtig zuordnen zu können. Ohne die stetige Optimierung deiner Landingpages wird es verdammt schwer, gute Rankings zu erzielen. In dieser Folge zeigen wir dir die „großen” Geheimnisse einer erfolgreichen und kontinuierlichen Optimierung von Landing Pages für Top-Rankings bei Google & Co. ;-) Der Obergedanke: Wir müssen Google, KI-Suchmaschinen und Nutzer glücklich machen. Wenn die Nutzer glücklich sind, sind es auch automatisch Google & Co.? Ein klares „Jein”. Wir müssen auch Optimierungen vornehmen, die der Nutzer nicht wahrnimmt, die aber von den Crawlern erfasst werden. Alle Maßnahmen zusammengefasst: Den Nutzer abholen: Was möchtest du mit deiner Landingpage erreichen? Was ist deine Botschaft und was ist der Nutzen? Innerhalb von Sekunden muss er das checken können, sonst war es das … - Search Intent immer treffen (die TOP 10 checken) - Daher klare H1 + CTA + What's in for me in wenigen Wörtern (Go.Student als Beispiel?) - Wichtig für SEO: Ein Mainkeyword + ggf. Nebenkeywords direkt mitabdecken - Wenn es passt, der klassische Heroshot - Starke Botschaften und wichtige Informationen (Hooks) möglichst weit oben platzieren! - Die URL-Struktur muss klar sein. - Meta-Tags: Keyword an den Anfang, USPs, die keiner hat, nennen, ggf. Sonderzeichen verwenden. Inspiration holen aus den Ads oben (deren Meta-Tags sind meist besser durch Testings optimiert). - Klare H-Strukturen, die separat betrachtet wie ein roter Faden durch die Seite führen. Nicht zu abstrakt formulieren, nicht zu viele oder zu wenige H-Tags. - Content, Content, Content: Mehrwert, Prozesse erklären, Produkte zeigen und Hilfe leisten. Den Nutzer abholen. - SurferSEO kann helfen. Vorsicht bei Shops, da werden die Werte oft sehr ungenau durch zu viele Produkte mit Eigennamen! - Design ist wichtig! Bilder, Videos, Animationen: Das Auge liest mit – gute Nutzersignale bereits durch gutes Design. Beispiele: - https://www.gostudent.org/ - https://www.plantsome.de/products/coffea-arabica Nur einmal optimieren und dann fertig? FALSCH – immer weiter optimieren! - Ändere Zwischenüberschriften, messe Nutzersignale, messe Meta-Tags, nutze GA4 und Hotjar, beobachte die Konkurrenz – was lässt Google nach vorne? - Ist der Artikel noch up to date? - Ggf. A/B-Testings (allerdings nicht so einfach, LP muss mind. 1.000 Besucher pro Tag aufweisen). - Backlinks sind super wichtig! Wie verändert sich mein Linkprofil? Versuche ich, es aktiv aufzubauen, oder nicht? - Konkurrenz beobachten: Was machen die? Wie verändern sie ihren Content? Wie bauen sie Backlinks auf? #

Joy Sanzone and David Neu of the US Postal Service Office Of Inspector General (OIG) join Bob to discuss their new "White Paper" that explores the evolution of the USPS' retail network and how the network is adapting, or not adapting, to the the dynamic postal environment.  Joy, David and Bob talk about how the Postal Service's "universal service obligation" informs the postal retail footprint, whether the obligation needs to be more clearly defined and if there is something to learn from the experience of foreign postal authorities. In addition, Bob  references the upcoming Postal Service Health Benefits Program Open Season and the departure of Postal Regulatory Commission Chairman Michael Kubayanda from the agency.

The blog postIn this episode, Mark Graban shares a small but revealing story from a local post office — and what it teaches us about bad metrics and broken systems. When a clerk tapped the “green smiley face” on a customer feedback device for the customer, it raised an important question: was this about genuine service, or just gaming the system?Mark explains why the issue isn't the clerk, but the system around him — a system that encourages scoring over substance, compliance over improvement. Drawing on Lean thinking and Deming's philosophy, he explores how poorly designed metrics push people to protect themselves instead of serving customers.You'll hear why:Metrics without context mislead more than they informPeople naturally adapt to meet incentives, even if it means gaming the numbersMost performance is a function of the system, not individual effortIf you've ever wondered why “customer satisfaction scores” or other simplistic measures don't always match reality, this episode will resonate. Leaders everywhere — in healthcare, government, and business — need to ask not “why did they do that?” but “what about the system made that behavior the best option?”Because when we fix the system, we don't need people to game it.

USPS v. Konan | 10/08/25 | Docket #: 24-351 24-351 UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE V. KONAN DECISION BELOW: 96 F.4th 799 CERT. GRANTED 4/21/2025 QUESTION PRESENTED: The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), ch. 753, 60 Stat. 842 (28 U.S.C. 1346(b), 2671 et seq .), generally waives the United States' sovereign immunity for suits seeking damages "for injury or loss of property, or personal injury or death caused by the negligent or wrongful act or omission" of an employee of the federal government "under circumstances where the United States, if a private person, would be liable to the claimant in accordance with the law of the place where the act or omission occurred." 28 U.S.C. 1346(b)(1). The FTCA, however, excepts from that waiver of immunity "[a]ny claim arising out of the loss, miscarriage, or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter." 28 U.S.C. 2680(b). The question presented is as follows: Whether a plaintiff's claim that she and her tenants did not receive mail because Postal Service employees intentionally did not deliver it to a designated address arises out of "the loss" or "miscarriage" of letters or postal matter. 28 U.S.C. 2680(b). LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 23-10179

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence for its mission. According USPIS Inspector in Charge Eric Shen, the agency is exploring AI's potential to identify suspects, monitor illicit websites and enhance public awareness about mail fraud. At Identity Week America 2025, Shen speaks with GovCast about how USPIS is evolving as technology changes. He says that USPIS uses all the tools it can find – including social media, AI and others – to root out mail scams. Shen also says that USPIS is changing along with the broader evolution of documentation and the need for agencies to adapt to the changing nature of ID documents. Shen explains that government needs to stay ahead of technological trends by collaborating with private industry to future-proof operations.

C'est l'un des disques les plus attendus de l'année qui est sorti ce vendredi (3 octobre 2025). La mégastar américaine Taylor Swift a dévoilé The Life of a Showgirl. Un 12è album de 12 titres, résolument pop. Il s'annonce déjà comme un triomphe avec déjà plus de cinq millions de pré-enregistrements sur Spotify. Un record pour la plateforme suédoise. Edmond Sadaka a écouté ce disque composé essentiellement de «morceaux dansants avec des sonorités rappelant les années 80». «Taylor Swift qui a souvent exorcisé ses déceptions amoureuses en musique, célèbre cette fois son fiancé, le footballeur américain Travis Kelce, sur le morceau «Wish List»», explique le journaliste. Comme la chanteuse de 35 ans aime brouiller les frontières entre nostalgie et renouveau, elle rend hommage a George Michael disparu en 2016 en reprenant l'un de ses plus grands succès «Father Figure». Mais comme on ne change pas une formule qui gagne, les ballades ont aussi la part belle. Et la country transparaît dans quelques morceaux, dont le duo final avec la nouvelle star de la pop, Sabrina Carpenter.   Nouveau camouflet pour Javier Milei En Argentine, c'est un double revers cinglant pour Javier Milei et sa politique d'austérité. Jeudi (2 octobre 2025), le Parlement a rejeté deux vetos que le président argentin avait opposés à des textes augmentant le budget des universités et des hôpitaux pédiatriques. Un coup d'arrêt à l'austérité célébré par les communautés médicale et universitaire. Reportage de notre correspondant Théo Conscience qui était devant le Parlement au moment du vote, hier. Le président argentin est aussi éclaboussé par un nouveau scandale de corruption impliquant l'un de ses fidèles. José Luis Espert, député de la province de Buenos Aires, est accusé d'avoir reçu de l'argent d'un trafiquant de drogue, Fred Machado. «Je ne suis pas un délinquant», assure l'économiste dans une vidéo publiée hier, sur X, et repostée par le président argentin. Une vidéo «approuvée au préalable par des fonctionnaires très proches de Javier Milei», affirme le quotidien Pagina 12. Le député libertarien, mis au pied du mur par des révélations du journal La Nacion, y affirme qu'il a bien reçu 200.000 dollars d'une entreprise liée à Fred Machado. Mais il s'agit d'une rétribution pour un travail qu'il a effectué en tant qu'économiste, pas de l'argent pour financer sa campagne de 2019, assure-t-il. Une nouvelle version des faits alors que «jusqu'à présent, José Luis Espert avait livré des explications erratiques», relève Clarin. José Luis Espert accuse le camp de l'ancienne présidente Cristina Kirchner de gonfler cette affaire afin qu'il perde lors des législatives de fin octobre. Une théorie défendue également par Javier Milei qui ne lâche pas son «ami», comme l'écrit Pagina 12, «alors qu'au sein du gouvernement, on ne voit pas les choses de la même manière et on pousse Espert à donner des explications claires, ce qu'il n'a toujours pas réussi à faire», poursuit le quotidien. Selon Pagina 12, le camp de Javier Milei commence à douter du président et à s'inquiéter de sa «mauvaise gestion des différentes crises» actuelles. Noël au Venezuela Depuis mercredi (1er octobre 2025), c'est Noël au Venezuela. Cela fait plusieurs années que Nicolas Maduro lance les festivités de Noël avant l'heure «dans le but de détourner l'attention des citoyens» de la situation du pays et des problèmes qu'ils connaissent, écrit Tal Cual. L'Église catholique a déjà protesté par le passé, estimant que cette fête ne doit pas être utilisée à des «fins de propagande ou dans un intérêt politique particulier», rappelle le journal en ligne. Cette année, ce Noël très en avance a suscité de nouvelles critiques car pour marquer le coup, le pouvoir a tiré des feux d'artifices et illuminé l'Helicoide, à Caracas, un immeuble à l'architecture bien particulière de la capitale mais surtout «le principal centre de détention et de torture du Venezuela», explique le quotidien argentin Infobae. Ce spectacle pyrotechnique a, donc, provoqué de nombreuses réactions. Plusieurs ONG qui défendent les droits humains dénoncent «la cruauté» et le «sadisme» de Nicolas Maduro, indique Tal Cual. Indignation également de l'opposition qui parle d'un «acte pervers et inhumain», rapporte El Nacional.   Des soldates répondent à P. Hegseth Aux États-Unis, l'intervention de Pete Hegseth devant les généraux et les amiraux mardi continue de faire réagir. Le New York Times donne la parole à deux anciennes soldates choquées d'avoir entendu Pete Hegseth affirmer qu'elles n'avaient pas vraiment mérité leur place au sein de l'armée. Selon lui, les critères physiques ont été revus à la baisse, ces dernières années, pour permettre aux femmes de s'enrôler. Une affirmation qui ne repose sur aucune preuve, souligne le quotidien américain qui rappelle que pour rejoindre l'armée, «hommes et femmes doivent attendre des niveaux physiques différents mais pour les postes les plus hauts, les plus exigeants, les standards sont les mêmes». «Je n'ai pas reçu de traitement de faveur. J'ai passé les tests comme tout le monde», explique au New York Times, la colonel Kate Wilder, première femme diplômée de l'École des Forces spéciales. «J'ai dû travailler très très dur pour en arriver là. J'ai même travaillé plus dur que mes collègues hommes pour être prise au sérieux et obtenir les postes que je voulais», raconte également la capitaine à la retraite Bobbie Scholley. Dégoûtée, elle n'a pas réussi à suivre en entier l'intervention de Pete Hegseth, mardi soir.   La Poste haïtienne menacée Comme tous les premiers vendredis du mois, nous retrouvons la rédaction d'Ayibopost en Haïti. Lucnise Duquereste évoque la situation de l'Office des postes d'Haïti (OPH), en grande difficulté. Depuis deux-trois ans, les recettes de la poste haïtienne ont chuté de 95%, à cause essentiellement de la situation dans le pays. Le siège de l'institution vieille de 150 ans, situé à Port-au-Prince, a ainsi été attaqué par les gangs en début d'année. «De plus, depuis novembre 2024, le service postal américain (USPS), l'équivalent américain chargé de la distribution et de l'acheminement du courrier aux États-Unis et à l'international, a suspendu ses opérations avec Haïti après la décision de la Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) d'interdire tous les vols américains en raison de l'insécurité jusqu'en mars 2026», peut-on lire dans l'article d'Ayibopost. Un décret de 1987 limite également son champ d'action : la Poste «ne peut pas offrir de services financiers», explique Lucnise Duquereste. Joueur de football en Haïti Le football est le sport roi en Haïti, particulièrement dans les villes de province. Aux Gonaïves, chef-lieu du département de l'Artibonite, chaque été, les rues vibrent au rythme des championnats inter-quartiers. Le plus populaire d'entre eux, le «Mundialito», attire des centaines de spectateurs et permet à de nombreux jeunes de révéler leur talent, tout en offrant un moment de divertissement à la population. Cependant, derrière cette passion se cache une triste réalité : les infrastructures sportives de la ville tombent en ruine. Les trois principaux terrains de football sont aujourd'hui en piteux état, faute d'entretien et de budget. Reportage de Ronel Paul et Wilguens Garçon.   Le journal de la 1ère La Guadeloupe a connu un rebond économique en 2024, notamment grâce aux touristes qui étaient plus nombreux et ont dépensé davantage.

Due to the U.S. Senate's failure to pass a short-term funding bill, the federal government shut down starting just after midnight Wednesday. How might the shutdown impact everyday people, not just federal workers? What does this mean for travel/flights, social security payments, national park visits, or USPS mail delivery? Are you at all worried about delays or disruptions to your everyday life? Kurt Couchman, from the group Americans for Prosperity joined Dan to discuss.

How strong is your dividend growth portfolio? Send it to us for a free evaluation at dcm.team@growmydollar.com. Plus, join our market newsletter for more on dividend growth investing.________When a stock's price is falling, its yield is sky-high, and there's plenty of doubt, it looks like a classic value trap. Does it ever make sense for dividend growth investors to walk into that trap? Sometimes, what's under the hood tells a very different story.In Episode 51, Greg revisits UPS ($UPS), a company we last covered years ago but is now back on our radar for entirely new reasons. Rising wages, Amazon contract changes, and global trade tariffs have cut the stock price in half since 2022, sending its dividend yield toward 8%. At first glance, it looks like the market is pricing it for a dividend cut.But step behind the headlines, and the story gets more compelling: UPS continues to post solid margins, generates strong cash flow, and has the scale and efficiency to remain a leader in global logistics. Even if a dividend cut occurs, investors may still come out ahead with sustainable yields and renewed dividend growth potential. Greg breaks down the scenarios, risks, and catalysts that make UPS a compelling story to consider.Topics Covered: [00:03:32] Why UPS looks like a high-yield “problem child” but may still be a dividend growth play[00:06:20] UPS's history: growth in revenue, profits, and dividends since 1999[00:09:58] The “trifecta” of headwinds—union wage hikes, Amazon contract cuts, and tariffs[00:12:36] Comparing UPS vs. FedEx ($FDX), Amazon ($AMZN), USPS, and DHL in market share and profitability[00:19:57] How AI could improve delivery efficiency[00:21:12] Business metrics, profitability, debt profile, and why UPS's financing signals investor confidence[00:25:27] The dividend dilemma: can UPS sustain its payout, or is a cut coming?[00:27:44] Three scenarios: steady dividend, improved valuation, or a cut that resets growth[00:31:47] Long-term catalysts: tariffs, Amazon shifts, and global trade recovery[00:33:37] What research firms (Morningstar, Value Line) are projecting for UPS[00:34:56] Final take: UPS as a value play that still pays you to waitSend us a textDisclaimer: This discussion is for educational purposes only and not investment advice.

“You can have the best program in the world, but if nobody knows about it, it won't make a difference,” says Todd Jordan, who leads United Way of Greater Kansas City's 2-1-1. “That's why we run a 24/7/365 contact center—to guide people to real help with a kind, empathetic voice.” In this special Technology Reseller News podcast, Publisher Doug Green brings together Todd Jordan (United Way 2-1-1, Kansas City), Jill Blankenship (CEO, Frontline Group), and Thomas McCarthy-Howe (CTO, VCONIC) to explore Empathy at Scale: how vCon (styled vCon) data and AI—implemented with strict privacy and security—are transforming community helplines and complex, multi-agency referrals. The Scale - and the Strain United Way's 2-1-1 covers 23 counties and roughly 2.5 million people across the Greater Kansas City region. Demand has surged since the pandemic: 155,000+ calls last year and nearly 500,000 total contacts (calls, web, email, even USPS), with average call times around 7.5 minutes—well over a million minutes of conversations. The mix spans urban, suburban, and rural needs, multiple languages, and highly sensitive situations (from rent and utilities to domestic violence and mental health crises). Protecting privacy is paramount. From Corridor Conversation to Pilot Blankenship describes how a hallway conversation about vCon—a new IETF-developed file format for conversations—sparked a collaboration. Frontline Group packaged the idea inside Frontline Quest, their agent-enablement and professional services program, while VCONIC, a spin-out dedicated to vCon technology, provided the protocol and secure data handling. The trio launched a live pilot with United Way 2-1-1 to transcribe calls, structure insights, and surface actionable “signals” for quality, safety, and service improvement—without compromising caller confidentiality. “vCon is designed to feed AI and protect people,” says Thomas McCarthy-Howe. “Bringing IETF-grade security and openness to conversational data lets us see the dark operational signals—safely—and use them to help people faster.” What Changed for 2-1-1 Quality & Care Signals: Real-time indicators help supervisors coach empathy, spotting where agents can lean in—and where secondary trauma support is needed for frontline staff. Searchable Conversations (Not Just Dispositions): Instead of relying on boxes and notes, leaders can now query full conversations to answer urgent policy questions. Jordan asked the system to compare eviction-prevention resources across Kansas vs. Missouri; the synthesized, data-grounded view matched the team's lived experience and revealed precise gaps. Multilingual & Multichannel Reality: With 70–80 languages in some school districts, vCon-backed transcription and analysis improve consistency across interpreters and channels—phone, web, email, and more. Why It Matters For a nonprofit with finite resources, the team needed technology that is secure, lean, and humane—helping callers in crisis without forcing agents to split attention between empathy and note-taking. The pilot is doing exactly that: safeguarding sensitive data while unlocking insights that mobilize funding, target interventions, and strengthen outcomes. “We're at the tip of something transformative,” Jordan says. “Real-time data from our community voices helps us advocate better—and care better.” About the participants: United Way of Greater Kansas City 2-1-1 serves 23 counties and ~2.5M people, fielding 155k+ calls annually. 2-1-1 is a North American network covering ~99% of the U.S. and much of Canada. Frontline Group is a contact center BPO and professional services firm; its Frontline Quest program integrates vCon to enhance agent experience and operational insight. VCONIC specializes in vCon technology—a conversation file format being developed in the IETF, the internet standards body behind protocols like TLS and OAuth.

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.
