@NoWolfHowl @FreightAlley @maybedanielleee Because i work at a big brokerage and currently work with 1 of the mega carriers.

I see what the national carriers book with us and their volume.

I guess it might be small to them but certainly not small in my eyes. Opportunities are endless within these Dedicated Teams

[Zach Jacobs @HoosierDaddy99]

@FreightAlley @maybedanielleee Extremely wrong

All national carriers have a “dedicated backhaul team”

Sen. Bill Cunningham, D-Chicago, tells me that Bears President Kevin Warren called him this morning and told him they were putting out the statement about moving forward in Hammond. But... Cunningham added this: "He also said he looks forward to continuing discussions with me."

[Courtney Cronin @CourtneyRCronin]

While I’m being told that the Bears announcement on Hammond is “real”,
i.e. not a leverage play, a league source told me that the Bears leaving the state is not a done deal. Per source, Indiana is in the lead right now, but “Illinois can still get back in the race,” granted the state has a lot of ground to make up after not passing legislation that would have insured the Bears property tax certainty.

Budget passes the House 76-39. It heads to Gov. Pritzker’s desk.

It goes without saying, but two Cook County municipalities with a population over 70,000: Arlington Heights and Chicago.

@TMSuccessful Alot of TMS systems are not 100 percent synched up to the DAT in exact real time. There is also a lag 10-15 mins. Also internally there is usually an issue when a customer rep could not mark internally WHAT a load is posted for or even IF a load is posted. Not a perfect system

[Michele Steele @MicheleSteele]

Wild to think that the Chicago MLS team announced their intention to build a stadium in 2025 - 2 years after the Bears bought Arlington Park - and are already building on the new site and have a naming rights sponsor.

@maybedanielleee @elonmusk It’s the team drivers and their service standards

Currently running 1 lane and they are ruthless

SCOTUS Freight Ruling: Second thoughts.
I went through the opinions and here three things that stand out;
1. The Kavanaugh concurrence is the operational playbook. Kavanaugh went out of his way to say this is not auto-liability. He wrote that brokers who acted reasonably and used reputable carriers should be able to defend successfully, and that the operative standard is "asking the hard questions of the carrier." That phrase will be litigated for the next decade — and it's the standard every brokerage should be designing toward right now. supremecourt
2. The legal standard is ordinary care, not strict liability. The court grounded its analysis in Restatement (Second) of Torts §411 — the same duty of reasonable care that already applies to anyone employing a contractor for work carrying a risk of physical harm. Shippers exercise this duty in selecting carriers. Carriers exercise it in hiring drivers. Brokers are now held to the same standard.
3. The case is remanded. Montgomery still has to prove negligent hiring on the merits in the lower court — Broker can still win on the facts. Meanwhile, Kavanaugh acknowledged the broker industry's concerns as legitimate and weighty, and explicitly flagged the legislative path as the remedy for repercussions

Legal risk will go up. Insurance costs will follow. But for brokers who run a tight playbook, this can be manageable. Do what's in your control — vet carriers with discipline, ask the hard questions, use the data, document everything.

@ChrisYBaldwin @franfraschilla Can you ask Kelvin Sampson if he remembers all his recruiting violations when IUBB head coach? What a world we live in with the landscape now in college sports

[Zach Jacobs @HoosierDaddy99]

@cody__cubs That’s insane in this market to not raise rent for the last 5 years

@KirstiTimms They got turned off today at a big brokerage

Enough is enough

[Zach Jacobs @HoosierDaddy99]

@KeithSmithNBA Too little too late

Bulls fans are sick of this franchise, sell the team Reinsdorf

[Rob Carpenter @RobCarpenter]

A Moldovan broker, a Romanian carrier, a temporary immigrant CDL driver, and another fatal truck crash
A Denver-papered, Chisinau-operated freight broker dispatched a truck owned by a carrier with 10 fatalities on its federal record, driven by an immigrant with a temporary CDL. Seventeen people and their families paid for it in Beaumont, Texas.

@shiftyxxpc1985 @HubGroup @atutruckers @maybedanielleee I have a carrier with a similar amount owed to them.

I shared the news about Hub Group and 1 of the CEO’s had no idea….. scary time. And this is a 750+ trucking carrier

Very bad situation is brewing
