Anybody else see our very own @Robert Carpenter on 60 minutes last night? Exposing Chameleon Carriers and talking about the safety of all of us on our roads with these guys skirting the laws? Thank you Rob for representing all of us in Freight Logistics who care about the people, especially drivers who these rogue carriers hurt. Check out the episode here: https://www.cbsnews.com/60-minutes/

I would bet the clothes off my back that the top 5 3PLs will report higher than expected revenue at EoY. If you’re a 3PL with clauses in your shipper agreement that adjusts for war or act of God you should be ahead, assuming you run freight based on a margin percentage.

If you have not been in our Cargo Van class. It’s full of 10 years of experiences and info about moving freight in this non-CDL space. I share my experiences and that of my drivers. The first and final mile is where the most usage of our cargo van comes into play but we have many projects and national contracts that take our Cargo Vans OTR.

Are you stuck in the endless cycle of applying and never hearing back? I see it every day: ✅ Tailored cover letters ✅ Dozens of applications ✅ “We’ll keep your resume on file” The job search is exhausting and too often, the real culprit isn’t you. It’s your resume. Most resumes get only 6 seconds of attention before a recruiter decides “yes” or “no.” If yours isn’t clear, results-driven, and ATS-friendly, it doesn’t matter how qualified you are. That’s where I come in. I help job seekers turn their resumes into powerful marketing tools that actually open doors. Whether you need: ✅ A complete rewrite ✅ Keyword optimization for applicant tracking systems ✅ A clean, professional format ✅ Help translating your experience into achievements (not just duties) I’ve got you. Let’s get you more interviews not more silence. Comment “RESUME” or DM me, and let’s talk about where you’re stuck.

Is everyone having as much fun discussing fuel increases as I am? This is something beyond the control of any asset carrier or broker. Yet shipper still believe somehow our industry is benefitting. The USA uses DOE, this process and formula work very well, diesel is $3.69 per gallon we get X per mile, moves to $6.00 per gallon we get X per mile. Canada uses FCA, this is done with a formula and creates a %. Prior to the war in Iran, % was 48%, now it is 91%. This is harder to explain to customers. DOE or FCA was established to offset fuel increases due to wars, act of God, geopolitical challenges. Have had many brokers reaching out, they did all in rates. This is not a practice I agree with, should always be linehaul plus fuel. Pass through fuel as it is the carriers cost not a brokers. Then when fuel moves it is passed through. The biggest benefit, your revenue or margin is not affected. Truly hope we can see resolution sooner than later. Germany we paid $10 per gallon USD to drayage partners this week. EFS from SSLs are $350-$500 per container and expected to climb if they will even continue servicing the region.
