    Open Road Acquires Double-Stack, HOS Waiver for Fertilizer Haulers, & GlobalX Sues Ascent | The Morning Minute

    In this episode, we kick things off with a major private equity play in the intermodal freight space. Open Road Ventures announced it has acquired Double-Stack Logistics, an intermodal freight broker with direct rail relationships and a fleet of over 150 containers. The company specializes in converting freight that typically moves over the road into intermodal shipments, and the backing will allow Double-Stack to expand its service offering and North American footprint. Next, we explore a massive break for drivers hauling fertilizer as FMCSA grants hours-of-service waivers across 34 states to ease a critical squeeze on fertilizer supplies. Running from May 26 through August 26, the waiver allows drivers to operate for sixteen hours in a twenty-four-hour period—far beyond the standard eleven-hour limit—and eliminates the electronic logging device requirement, giving farmers the narrow window they need to get fertilizer applied during spring planting season. Finally, we unpack a bitter legal battle in the air cargo charter market where GlobalX Airlines is suing Ascent Global Logistics for $30 million, alleging the former investment partner steered charter work to its own subsidiary. According to the complaint, Ascent assigned hundreds of charters per month worth up to $15 million to USA Jet Airlines while only referring about $1 million in flights to GlobalX over three years, a stark breach of their exclusive freight brokerage agreement.

    The Two Biggest Ways Trucking Companies Die in 2026

    Today on Brake Check, we're tackling the two biggest threats facing trucking in 2026. First, Matt Roherty from CarrierForge breaks down what it really takes to go from company driver to business owner. From MC authority and compliance headaches to startup costs, profitability, and avoiding the mistakes that kill most new carriers in their first year, this is the roadmap every aspiring owner-operator needs to hear. Then Scott Cornell from Logistiq Insurance Solutions joins the show to expose the cargo theft epidemic sweeping through freight. Fictitious pickups. Identity fraud. Double brokering. Coverage gaps. Cyber-enabled theft. The threats have evolved—and many carriers and brokers don't realize how exposed they really are until it's too late. If you're thinking about getting your own authority, running a small fleet, brokering freight, or protecting the business you've built, this episode is required listening.

  3. TX Court Shields Home Depot, WWEX-Auctane Merger, & FedEx Expands Dutch Hub | The Morning Minute

    TX Court Shields Home Depot, WWEX-Auctane Merger, & FedEx Expands Dutch Hub | The Morning Minute

    In this episode, we kick things off with a major legal victory for shippers facing liability exposure in Texas. Just one day after Alabama's Supreme Court expanded broker liability in safety incidents, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that Home Depot cannot be held liable for a fatal crash involving Werner Enterprises. The court determined that simply hiring an independent contractor to haul freight does not create tort liability for the shipper, effectively blocking sweeping safety claims untethered from control or conduct. Next, we explore a blockbuster consolidation reshaping how small and midsize businesses access freight capacity. Dallas-based WWEX Group and shipping software provider Auctane have completed their merger to create ShipStation Global, a new logistics powerhouse serving over three million customers. Backed by private equity firm Thoma Bravo, the combined entity handles over three billion shipments annually and connects parcel, LTL, truckload and international services through a single technology platform. Finally, we head across the Atlantic to examine how FedEx is investing heavily in European ground infrastructure to support its premium air cargo ambitions. The express giant is pouring fifty-four million dollars into expanding a major trucking hub in the Netherlands, increasing palletized freight capacity by over fifty percent. This strategic expansion supports FedEx's truck-fly-truck delivery model and its aggressive push to capture a larger share of the ninety billion dollar deferred air cargo market.

  7. Atlas Air Buys Into Air Atlanta, UPS Mexico Heavy Freight, & Nussbaum Driver Pay Hike | The Morning Minute

    Atlas Air Buys Into Air Atlanta, UPS Mexico Heavy Freight, & Nussbaum Driver Pay Hike | The Morning Minute

    In this episode, we kick things off with a massive strategic move in the air cargo sector as Atlas Air, the world's largest Boeing 747 freighter operator, acquires a forty-nine percent stake in Iceland-based Air Atlanta and purchases its fleet of fourteen widebody aircraft through Titan Aviation Leasing. The partnership strengthens Atlas's ability to provide freight service at a time when many large freighters are nearing retirement and manufacturers cannot increase production fast enough. Next, we explore how UPS is rolling out a major service upgrade specifically designed for cross-border industrial shippers as the logistics giant launches time-definite heavy freight air service between the US and Mexico on its own aircraft for the first time. With one-day, two-day and three-day options launching in August, this move supports UPS's broader strategy to deemphasize low-margin parcel business and focus on high-value goods and complex supply chains like automotive. Finally, we cover a clear signal that the driver labor market is heating back up as Illinois-based Nussbaum Transportation announces driver pay increases and a first-ever profit sharing plan, becoming the first carrier to publicly disclose such a move in what appears to be an emerging industry trend. The National Transportation Institute confirmed that multiple fleets have quietly reported pay increases in recent weeks, driven by surging hiring challenges in the second quarter.
