    The Daily | Waabi’s Door-to-Door Autonomy, CA Enforcement Risks, and the 2026 Economy

    In this episode of FreightWaves’ The Daily, we map out the critical operational shifts defining the 2026 supply chain landscape, focusing on risk management over pure technology. We examine how generative AI and OEM partnerships are accelerating Waabi's push for point-to-point autonomous trucking to solve the commercial inefficiencies of the "highway trap." Regulatory risks are rising as a massive budget deficit in California threatens to disrupt federal, leading to significant compliance volatility for carriers. An internal audit highlights systemic weaknesses in the state's safety programs that could make roadside inspections and protocols increasingly unpredictable. On the macro front, a robust 4.3% GDP growth rate in Q3 signals a healthier economic foundation driven by strong consumer spending and exports rather than just import fluctuations. This economic shift is prompting industry leaders to stop designing for certainty and start building supply chains for adaptability to better handle market disruptions. We also discuss how this renewed focus on efficiency is setting the stage for a resurgence in large carrier M&A, including the anticipated spin-off of FedEx Freight. Finally, we analyze the urgent need to harden networks against sophisticated criminal rings that are exploiting commercial freight channels to smuggle narcotics and stolen vehicles across borders.

    Morning Minute | Waabi goes local, GDP hits 4.3%, and 2026 M&A returns

    In this episode of the Freightways Morning Minute, we explore why autonomous trucking companies are shifting strategies to tackle surface streets for door-to-door delivery. By ditching the highway-only model detailed in Beyond the highway: Waabi's bet on door-to-door autonomy, these companies aim to eliminate costly first- and last-mile inefficiencies known as the "highway trap". We also break down the latest economic data, which reveals that GDP grew 4.3% in Q3, and it was ‘healthier’ growth driven by robust domestic demand rather than technical anomalies. This expansion signals underlying strength in consumer spending and exports, offering positive news for future freight volumes. Finally, we look ahead to a potential resurgence of deal-making in 2026, highlighted by FedEx Freight’s plans to spin off as an independent public company. While Large carrier M&A proves elusive in 2025, stabilizing volumes and lower interest rates are expected to fuel a massive industry shakeup next year. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Morning Minute | December 30, 2025

    This episode of the FreightWaves Morning Minute examines Amazon’s recent support for Flowers Foods in a Supreme Court case that could redefine legal protections for local delivery drivers. The retail giant argues that single-state drivers do not qualify for the federal arbitration exemption reserved for interstate transportation workers. We also report on the abrupt closure of Queen Transportation, a North Carolina carrier that ceased operations over the Christmas holiday. The shutdown left nearly 90 drivers jobless and highlights the severe liquidity pressures currently facing the trucking industry.

    The Daily | December 29, 2025

    In this episode of The Daily, we explore why Transport Capacity Services is betting on Monterrey to manage the surge in nearshoring activity and cross-border complexity. As manufacturing investment floods northern Mexico, stricter customs enforcement and driver regulations threaten to tighten freight capacity significantly by 2026. To support these long-term trade flows, Union Pacific is developing a massive industrial park near Houston, while developers repurpose facilities like a former Waco bottling plant for distribution. Meanwhile, market distress has forced Standard Forwarding Freight to cease operations after 91 years, signaling how the downturn is punishing leveraged operators. Consolidation continues to reshape the rail sector as GATX and Brookfield complete their acquisition of Wells Fargo’s rail leasing portfolio in a multibillion-dollar joint venture. On the technology front, telematics provider Motive has filed for an IPO, underscoring how software is becoming core infrastructure for fleets facing thin margins. Severe weather is also impacting operations, with Winter Storm Ezra triggering FMCSA hours-of-service waivers across 20 states and prompting warnings for truckers east of I-35 to stay off the roads. Finally, we discuss unconfirmed reports that China may be converting a cargo ship into a missile launcher, a development that could fundamentally alter global supply chain security.

As nearshoring activity accelerates, TCS is betting on Monterrey as cross-border trade gets more complicated and highlights new logistics investments south of the border. Additionally, Union Pacific is developing a massive 2,000-acre industrial park near Houston to better serve international gateways.

    Morning Minute | December 26, 2025

    In this episode of the FreightWaves Morning Minute, we investigate a major class-action filing aimed at stopping the California DMV from canceling nearly 20,000 commercial driver's licenses due to administrative errors. The Lawsuit Targets California DMV Over Administrative Failures Affecting 20,000 CDL Drivers argues that these cancellations disproportionately affect the Sikh community and pose an immediate risk to the stability of the supply chain. We also break down critical leadership updates in maritime governance, including the Senate confirmation of former Maersk executive Stephen Carmel as the administrator of the Maritime Administration. As the Marad chief, FMC nominee confirmed, these new appointees are set to fill vital gaps in the agencies that regulate U.S. ocean and port logistics. Finally, we discuss the rejection of an ambitious rail initiative after Amtrak turns down the ‘Transcontinental Chief’ proposal, citing a lack of a fundamental business case for the 72-hour transcontinental service. AmeriStarRail now plans to lobby Congress to force negotiations for the drive-aboard train service in hopes of launching by the 2028 Olympics. Learn more about your ad choices.
