Many Brokers are now requiring access to ELD's to book loads. When are carriers going to say "That is too much"?

This is hudge.
I'm not sure how this will impact the OTR side of logistics, including FTL rates and volume. The rails have become a very reliable and preferred choice for many shippers due to lower rates.

Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced a merger that will create the first transcontinental railroad with an enterprise value of more than $250 billion.

Going to almost 4 years of a "Freight recession" I don't think that is an accurate description of the market. What do you think?

This was a new one on us. Broker gave specific instructions to "secure freight with straps criss crossing as an X"

Today I made a traffic stop on this vehicle as it had a flat tire. The man pictured here was traveling to see family and was aware the tire was flat. He began explaining to me that he had a “donut” tire as a spare, however he did not have a jack to change the tire.
I told him I had one in my patrol vehicle and offered assistance in helping him change it.
I grabbed the Jack and began to place it under his car. He thanked me but said he could not allow a female to change his tire.
He started jacking it up but didn’t know how to take off the center cap. I assisted him in removing it.
He had some difficulties with the Jack which required me to lay on the ground and change placement.
As he was jacking the car back up he was obviously in pain, telling me that he had been shot 8 times and has severe leg/back pain.
I put the donut on and tightened the lugs. Let the Jack down and sent him on his way.
He inadvertently left an item at the scene of the traffic stop, so I caught up to him to return it.
At that time he asked me if we could take a picture together to say that he has proof that “cops aren’t bad”. I gladly agreed.
He told me he wanted to share his experience and asked I do the same.
Because, you see....it’s NOT a black and white thing. It’s NOT a male and female thing.
It IS a HUMANITY thing. All it takes is a little compassion.
Thank you, sir, for brightening my day
