  Starting with tech rollouts, Trimble bets big on AI to fix trucking’s workflow bottlenecks. It debuted its new cloud-native, modular, AI-powered Transportation Management System (TMS), designed as a single intelligence center for enterprise operations. New AI agents, such as the Order Intake Agent, automate administrative tasks like data extraction from emails and PDFs, potentially eliminating manual review for up to 90% of standard orders. Efficiency is also the core strategy behind major network redesigns at FedEx, who is focused on prioritizing high-quality B2B business and sectors like high-tech freight and healthcare logistics, while using generative AI to predict classification codes to simplify cross-border trade execution. In contrast, global maritime operator CMA CGM profit collapses on ocean ‘slowdown’. reported a staggering 72.6% decline in net income, yet maintained volume growth (up 2.3%) due to its agility in redeploying assets to counter Red Sea disruptions and volatility. On the regulatory and legal front, a Delaware bankruptcy court approved Judge Oks Yellow Corp.’s final liquidation plan, clearing the path to distribute up to $700 million to creditors, crucially classifying employee claims for PTO and sick time as priority for payment. Meanwhile, truck safety advocates strongly oppose the FMCSA’s proposed pilot program, detailed in Safety group opposes extending truckers’ workday, which would allow truck drivers to pause their 14-hour on-duty window for up to three hours, arguing the agency should instead study detention time directly. Managing constant risk is essential, as evidenced by the U.S.-flag barge Brooklyn Bridge running aground in the Bahamas after a tow wire failed and subsequently being looted, highlighting the vulnerability of routine operations to external factors. The defining trait of a successful logistics operation today is agility built on automation; technology is no longer a differentiator but a necessary cost for maintaining margins and compliance.

  A Delaware bankruptcy court has cleared the path for the final liquidation of Yellow Corp.'s estate, which will distribute as much as $700 million to creditors, but the order could face an appeal from Yellow’s largest equity holder, MFN Partners. We discuss the poor third-quarter results for ocean carrier CMA CGM, which saw group net income fall 72.6% year-over-year and revenue drop 11.3%. The carrier attributed this downturn to geopolitics, trade tensions in the U.S., and a corresponding slowdown in maritime activity, though it noted an improvement quarter-over-quarter after trade between the U.S. and China picked back up. Finally, truck safety advocates are strongly opposing the FMCSA’s proposed pilot program that would allow drivers to pause their 14-hour on-duty period for up to three hours, essentially extending the work window to 17 hours. While the FMCSA claims the allowance would mitigate excessive detention times and improve working conditions, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety argue the initiative is dangerous and misguided.

• WHAT THE TRUCK?!? | Giant Hauls & Precision Moves

  Malcolm kicks off the week with energy, industry insights, and a packed lineup of guests who deliver deep expertise across transportation safety, branding, and heavy-haul logistics. Malcolm opens with key headlines impacting the freight world — from upcoming USPS parcel price hikes to fluctuating global trade patterns, ocean carrier earnings, FMCSA’s new crash-risk study, and shifting M&A trends in the freight sector. The episode’s interviews begin with Chris Isley, Risk Control Specialist at Travelers Transportation, who breaks down the complexities of heavy equipment transportation, load securement standards, DOT compliance, specialized permits, escort coordination, and the safety measures needed to move oversized cargo. His decades of experience inform a detailed look at how fleets can strengthen safety programs, prevent losses, and keep operators protected. Next, Malcolm is joined by Alex Martin-Banzer, Brand Marketing Manager for Western Star and Daimler Truck North America. Alex shares her journey from intern to brand leader, offering an inside perspective on engineering, product strategy, and the storytelling behind one of the industry’s most iconic vocational truck brands. She dives into the massive Western Star–supported move of a historic Martin Mars aircraft, reflects on the brand’s legacy, and previews upcoming projects and the Star Nation operator experience. The show closes with Kyle Wilkes, Project Manager at Southwest Industrial Rigging, who provides an up-close look at the monumental effort required to transport the enormous Martin Mars bomber fuselage across Arizona — the tallest load ever moved on Arizona highways. Kyle walks through the intense planning, routing, permitting, engineering challenges, electrical coordination, and teamwork needed to pull off one of the most complex heavy-haul feats in recent memory. He also shares career advice, industry trends, and a thoughtful tribute to company founder Harry Baker. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Visit our sponsor⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.
