    UPS Closing 22 Facilities, Cargo Theft Spikes in CA & TX, Rail Merger Delayed | Morning Minute

    A new report reveals that California and Texas accounted for more than half of all U.S. cargo theft incidents last year, with electronics remaining a top target for criminals. Thieves are increasingly utilizing deceptive pickup tactics to steal loads, a trend experts warn is expected to accelerate through 2026. The massive merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern faces another delay as the railroads plan to refile their application with federal regulators later this spring. This postponement comes amidst growing political pressure and concerns from state attorneys general that the deal could stifle competition and raise prices. Shipping giant UPS is moving forward with its restructuring plans by identifying 22 package facilities for closure as it seeks to automate operations and cut costs. The company is also facing legal challenges from the Teamsters Union over its attempt to offer voluntary buyouts to thousands of drivers.

    FMCSA Restricts Non-Domiciled CDLs, Trucking Jobs Plunge & Amazon Pharmacy Expands | Morning Minute

    Federal regulators have finalized strict new standards for non-domiciled CDLs which will limit license eligibility to holders of specific work visas. Critics warn this move to close safety loopholes could eventually push nearly 200,000 drivers out of the market. Revised government data indicates the industry is facing a much sharper decline in trucking jobs than previously estimated, with losses exceeding 125,000 positions since the peak. Despite a rise in warehouse employment, the numbers confirm the true depth of the recent freight recession. Meanwhile, Amazon is moving fast to expand same-day pharmacy delivery by 80% to cover nearly 4,500 cities and towns in 2026. The tech giant aims to address "pharmacy deserts" and staffing shortages by getting prescriptions to patients in a matter of hours.
