  • It's finally testimony time for CSX and Norfolk Southern. The joint application of the railroads to partition and acquire Conrail will soon be decided by the Surface Transportation Board. Although it is the largest and arguably most consequential rail merger in history just two board members will vote. Although the outcome of the carve-up is not in doubt among most shippers, railroads and students of the STB, the number and nature of conditions upon the applicants are up in the air.
  • From chaos is emerging order and at least $210 billion for highway and transit spending over the next six years. As Congress departed for a 10-day recess, a consensus agreement on reauthorization of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act was hastily cobbled together for delivery to the president, with the expectation he would sign it into law.
  • Heavy truck sales are up, but this year, unlike in years past, truck manufacturers are not worrying about an inevitable swell of overcapacity. Since 1992 truck sales have averaged around 178,000 units a year. Today that average has shot up to about 200,000 units a year, a number the CEO of Freightliner is happy with. For the first quarter of this year, truck sales nearly doubled to 97,500, up from just 55,000 units in 1997.
  • Recent reports from the Port Import/Export Reporting Service bears witness to the container rush of 1997. "Flush with new cash, U.S. consumers have been on a prolonged spending spree, increasing their appetites for foreign products," the report said. "This was reflected in the performance of the U.S. inbound container trade, which jumped 13 percent for the year, compared to a mere 2 percent growth in 1996." Many top export lanes saw big increases to China and countries in Europe and Latin America. But 1998 is proving to be a tough one for the trades.
  • A Union Pacific Railroad executive's suggestion that ocean carriers reschedule sailing times eastbound from Asia to help ease congestion on the West Coast didn't sit well with carriers or shippers. They claim that such a change is not only impractical but may be downright impossible.
  • The Boeing 747-400 freight or the An-124 aren't big enough for you? Well, a number of aircraft manufacturers want to build something that is. Boeing is shopping for a launch customer for its MD-17 project, a near-clone of the C-17 military cargo plane it inherited through the merger with McDonnell Douglas. Antonov Design Bureau wants to build and sell the six-engine An-225. Meanwhile, a new German company, CargoLifter Inc., thinks airships are the wave of the future.
  • High-tech manufacturer A.G. Associates Inc. wants to bring inbound material straight to the production line, without time-consuming inspections. Two years ago it embarked on a supplier quality management program to reduce inventory and cut costs. Bringing up the quality of the parts shipped to the manufacturer is also critical to the program, thereby reducing the money and time wasted when unusable parts sit in a reject pile.
  • Two companies have joined together to offer customers a complete package of supply-chain management and import/export software. The new alliance integrates the features of Syntra's Global Logistics System and HK System's Stockmaster SCM and is expected to bring new cost-saving to its users.
  • Canadian shipowners and shippers are fuming over the latest proposal from the Canadian Coast Guard to change or introduce fees for the navigation and icebreaking services it provides. The National Marine and Industrial Coalition, which represents foreign and domestic shipowners as well as shippers, presented Ottawa with a cost recovery plan six months ago which it said met the government's revenue goals while protecting the competitiveness of the carriers and ports. The government response to that plan was delayed several times.
  • For intermodal marketing companies, the good news is that big shippers can be a rich source of new business. The not-so-good news is that the resources needed to capture the business may be beyond smaller operators. How to persuade large-volume shippers to use intermodal was described at this month's International Intermodal Expo in Dallas by the nation's largest IMC, The Hub Group. Despite deep-rooted misgivings about intermodal, two large shippers, Georgia-Pacific Corp. and Compaq Computer Corp., have become users.
