War good or bad for the freight market?
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.

Great question, Rayan. I see a lot of people saying that war is good for freight. And perhaps, in the short term, it can be. Particularly for those doing DOW work. But the long term implications of war are more complicated. Post WWI and WWII the populations of entire nations were gone. Good, young people. The future. How much talent was lost? Maybe modern warfare is different, but maybe not. There is a lot lost in war, even if more freight moves in the short term.
60 Minutes
Hey, everybody! If you haven't yet watched it, 60 Minutes is covering trucking. It starts at about the 15 minute mark. Looks like it will be a three part series. https://www.cbsnews.com/60-minutes/
Delilahs Law
The House Committee moved through HR 7793 a Resolution called Delilahs law. One surprising thing that was included into this Bill is section 7 which prohibits the use of "Foreign Dispatch" Services. A Carrier could be fined up to $50,000 for use of these services if this resolution is passed. The interesting thing is dispatching is not a regulated part of the trucking industry, unlike brokers who are. Many American companies over the last decade have embraced the use of foreign BPO services. How do you think the government will differentiate between a "dispatcher" and "back office support" when it comes to carrier management services?

@John Radvansky great point

@Steven Tittle I read the bill this weekend and the language seemed to me, though I am not an attorney, to be pretty broad and would encompass any dispatching activity done offshore.
FMCSA article regarding authority.
Hey Everyone, What are your thoughts on the article published by the FMCSA on Friday regarding the buying or leasing of mature authority? I’ve always been curious about how that process actually works, and it’s also been a concern of mine that someone could potentially use an authority without the owner’s knowledge. I’d be interested in hearing everyone’s perspective on this.

We've had low barrier to entry for getting authority and an absolute joke of selling authorities. It has to get cleaned up, and I am hopeful this is a step in the right direction.
Freight Skool Activity
Since our goal is to create an Active Community of Professionals that help each other Educate and Inform about important topics regarding Freight Transportation Logistics it is time once again to purge our membership. We will be eliminating memberships of those that don’t show activity in the group. It’s better to have a small group of members who are active and share value or get value from Freight Skool than have a bunch of members who only enter to see what they can get. I want to thank everyone who have become members of Freight Skool and continue to participate in our community. If you have not been on in a while this email is a nudge to get you back in. On Tuesday March 31 all accounts with no activity over the last 30 days will be purged (churned) from the group. So get on and get active. We hope to see you post or comment in the near future. Thank you everyone for making the Freight Skool community the #1 Freight Logistics community on the Skool Platform!
