    Knight-Swift Q1 Earnings, CSX Intermodal Growth, & Shell Starship 3.0 | The Morning Minute

    In this episode, we dive into the truckload sector where Knight-Swift is signaling a surprisingly bullish outlook on market fundamentals despite reporting a messy first quarter. We discuss how recent weather disruptions and fuel headwinds have exposed market tightness, leading the carrier to target high single to low double-digit rate increases during bid season. Shifting gears to the rails, we examine CSX's stronger first-quarter earnings, which were driven by a combination of lower costs and higher shipment volumes. The railroad's quarterly operating income surged 20%, heavily supported by a 6% jump in intermodal freight as customers sought relief from rising trucking and fuel costs. Finally, we explore the latest advancements in commercial fleet decarbonization by looking at the Shell Starship 3.0 natural gas truck. By utilizing a 15-liter natural gas engine, an aerodynamic carbon fiber cab, and off-the-shelf components, this vehicle achieved a massive two-and-a-half times improvement in freight efficiency.

  6. A Modern View of Cargo Theft

    A Modern View of Cargo Theft

    In this episode of Fraud Watch, I sit down with Ryan Kiefer, Lead Specialty Investigator with the Special Investigations Group at Travelers. Ryan brings years of experience working cargo theft cases across the country and often steps in when a shipment has already gone missing and the situation has turned uncertain. This conversation takes a step back from any one specific case and looks at the bigger picture. We talk through how theft is evolving and why it is no longer just about physical access to freight. Many of today’s losses are happening inside normal operations before anyone realizes there is a problem. We also discuss why so many incidents go unreported, how that impacts the industry’s understanding of risk, and why awareness and communication are becoming just as important as technology.

We discuss the strategic shift of freight traffic to partner railways and the resulting union backlash surrounding the elimination of local yard jobs. Next, we head north to examine a massive wave of logistics investments sweeping across Canada, highlighted by a targeted $1.6 billion acquisition by Nippon Express. The country is also seeing major infrastructure expansions from Toyota, accelerated electric fleet rollouts from Coca-Cola, and enhanced cross-border compliance services. Finally, we break down how Triumph Financial posted a remarkably strong first quarter in its factoring division, successfully outperforming typical seasonal trends. We dive into the company's new core metrics focused on revenue growth and margins, as well as its successful integration of artificial intelligence to efficiently process millions of invoices.

    You Can’t Recruit Your Way Out of This… Trucking’s Driver Crisis EXPOSED | Brake Check

    Today on Brake Check, we’re tackling one of the most talked-about and most misunderstood issues in trucking: Driver recruiting. Some say it’s never been harder. Others say the industry just hasn’t adapted. But here’s the real question… - Are we actually short on drivers… -Or are we just failing to recruit and retain, the right way? Because while companies scramble to hire, the headlines tell a different story Incidents, accountability gaps, and a system that keeps pushing drivers out faster than it brings them in. We break it all down with: Josh Mecca (Grammar Logistics) – Recruiting, retention, and building smarter supply chains Rebecca Anderson (Transland) – Talent pipeline, culture, and the future of driver hiring What drivers actually care about right now Why recruiting strategies are falling flat How retention is the real battlefield What the next generation of drivers expects (and why most carriers are missing it) And the hard truth about what happens if nothing changes Inside this episode: We also hit the headlines from a shocking bus incident to the growing questions around accountability in companies like C.H. Robinson and ask:How do you recruit drivers into a system they don’t trust? Then we close it out with a wild autonomous truck moment that proves one thing: You can bring in all the tech you want…but without drivers, and without fixing the foundation none of it works. No fluff. No spin. Just real trucking talk. Sound off in the comments: Is this a driver shortage, good job shortage … or a recruiting failure? #Trucking #DriverRecruiting #CDL #FreightWaves #BrakeCheck #Logistics #TruckDrivers #SupplyChain #DriverShortage #Recruiting ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
