JUST IN: Police have confirmed more than 200 packages filled with PSA-graded cards valued at nearly $1 million were stolen from a FedEx truck.

Value is expected to rise as more packages are investigated.

Wowzer - many legal analysts expected the judge to decertify the jury award against CH Robinson.

The opposite happened.

This is the most hostile legal environment that freight brokers have ever known.

Saw a shipper yesterday who has 5 trucks with cardboard taped to the side with their name and DOT written in sharpie.

If the shippers themselves are doing it, they will absolutely load a carrier like this.

So you can afford to pay for a $300,000 truck, but still have to resort to taping a piece of paper on the side of it???

Today, RXO announced that @CHRobinson intends to acquire our company, bringing together two of the strongest transportation providers in the industry. Together, we expect to create a scaled, end-to-end solution that moves freight from steamship lines to consumers’ doorsteps, all while expanding the capabilities, reach and value we can offer customers and carriers.

Until the transaction closes, likely in the first half of 2027, RXO and C.H. Robinson will remain separate, independent companies, and it’s business as usual.

Truck driver may have fallen asleep before he hit two vehicles at the intersection of Highway 50 and Traditions Parkway in Dayton, Nevada.

Two people were pronounced dead at the scene. One other was flown by CareFlight to a local hospital.

There's an app that allows carriers or truck drivers to check-in as a team at the shipper for $170.

This was posted in Russian on a Facebook group. Here is the screenshot translated in English.

I had a great meeting with the Kentucky Trucking Association.

We discussed surface reauthorization priorities and challenges affecting truckers, such as staged accidents and “chameleon carrier” companies that pose safety risks.

Thank you, truckers, for keeping America moving!

I don't think we're ever going to fully appreciate just how many close calls we've had over the years. This is Tutash Express hauling a tanker load of hydrochloric acid through Arkansas last year. They were not authorized to haul hazmat loads.
