A lawsuit over a catastrophic California highway crash is putting an unexpected defendant in the spotlight: the shipper. The suit alleges that C.H. Robinson and Unilever parent Conopco failed to verify that the carrier arriving to collect a refrigerated shipment was actually authorized to take it — and that the resulting breakdown in oversight contributed to a collision that left two people with permanent injuries.

One tracking signal isn't enough anymore.

Cargo theft hit $725M in 2025 (+60% YoY) — driven by double brokering, spoofed emails, and identity fraud. A single GPS ping can't catch that.

@DescartesSG MacroPoint's new ELD+ borrows an MFA-style approach: it pairs ELD and mobile app tracking in one session, so two independent signals confirm each other. When they disagree, ops teams get an early red flag — before it becomes a claim.

2,000 vessels. 20,000 seafarers.

That's how many were caught up in the Strait of Hormuz crisis alone — one of four regions where ships are now being used as "leverage" in conflicts, the UN's shipping agency @IMOHQ tells UN News.

The Navy's newest drone-boat solicitation is about logistics: uncrewed vessels built to haul containerized cargo for contested resupply and it's being bought on prototype authority, not a decade-long program of record.

Supply chain planning is the strategic backbone of modern operations. It determines how well an organization can balance supply and demand, control costs, manage risk, and respond to disruption.

Tender rejections are now above 6% for the first time since July 2022.

This is a huge sign that conditions in the freight market are tightening.

The risk of a capacity crunch in the trucking market during the 2H is real.

Shippers should prepare by locking in contract rates with carriers that they trust to service the freight, regardless of tightness.
