Driverless trucks just got a regulatory green light.

FMCSA granted a 5-year exemption (effective Oct 7) letting Level 4 autonomous trucks run cab-mounted warning beacons instead of traditional roadside warning triangles — a small rule change that clears a big hurdle for wider deployment. It won't reshape your lanes overnight, but the capacity map is starting to shift.

The freight world's biggest deal in years is, at its core, a bet on data.

C.H. Robinson is acquiring RXO for about $5.8 billion — and a key reason given is expanding its data to sharpen AI-driven pricing and freight matching. The takeaway for shippers: in an AI-driven market, your shipment data is your competitive position. Clean class, weight, and lane info is what any AI actually runs on.

Old Dominion is raising LTL rates 4.9% starting October 5 — a month earlier than last year, and the second year in a row it has pulled the increase forward.

An earlier effective date leaves shippers a shorter window to review contracts and benchmark lanes before the new rates take hold. And the headline percentage rarely matches your real cost impact — that depends on how your freight is classed and rated.

Reach out to Tech Transport for a rate review — or for help understanding how this increase might impact your spend.

The NMFC keeps evolving — NMFTA just proposed 33 more freight classification changes (Docket 2026-2).

Comment closes today (Sept 23), but the bigger point for shippers is ongoing: as classes keep shifting, the shipments that get rebilled are the ones with vague descriptions or missing dimensions. Clean data before the freight moves is your best protection.

Not sure how these changes affect your freight? Reach out to Tech Transport and we'll walk you through it.

The busywork between booking a load and delivering it is the next job AI is taking on.

Overroute just raised $5.5M for AI agents that monitor loads, handle exceptions, and update drivers and customers — now running across J.B. Hunt on millions of loads a year. The catch: it works because it plugs into clean, connected shipment data. That's exactly what we've built our TMS around for 15+ years.

Freight costs keep rising — even with demand soft. August's Logistics Managers' Index put transportation pricing at 90, deep in "extreme growth" territory, while capacity keeps tightening.

Heading into Q4, soft volume won't mean cheap capacity. Reach out to Tech Transport to pressure-test your lanes against the current market.

One year in, the new density-based LTL classification is working as intended — but plenty of shippers are still paying for bill-of-lading mistakes.

Carriers say the shippers getting rebilled are the ones without accurate weight, dimensions, and NMFC class on the BOL. Clean data up front is the whole game now.

Not sure your freight is classed right under the new density scale? Reach out to Tech Transport and we'll walk you through it.

A broker TMS just sold for $100M — a sign of where freight tech is going.

Descartes acquired AI-powered TMS provider Tai this week, one of several big AI moves in freight brokerage this month. But here's the catch: an AI platform is only as good as the shipment data feeding it. That's exactly what we've built our TMS around for 15+ years.
