  • Yellow Freight System is looking to shed its image as a traditional LTL carrier and it plans to do so by offering customers a new menu of time-definite services. The launch of Exact Express, slated for July 13, will give customers the opportunity to chose what day, morning or hour they would like their freight delivered. The trucking company has also added air freight to its service roster for the first time. Yellow has spent more than $100 million on upgrading its customer service center and the technology that feeds it to prepare for the new service.
  • Congress is debating whether to expand the authority of the Surface Transportation Board. But even before the heat of debate begins, shippers are scrambling to make clear their complaint that the board isn't doing a satisfactory job with the responsibilities it has now. One shipper termed the bill the "railroad anti-shipper bill." In its current form, it would allow the STB to double the amount of time it takes to issue emergency orders to 18 months, with the ability to request two six-month extensions. Sponsors of the bill admit it is only a starting point to frame the debate.
  • Yellow Freight System wants to fly. The venerable trucking company has formed a new air freight division. Yellow will be able to handle same-day and next-day shipments by air for shipments weighing more than 70 pounds. The new service is meant to compete with domestic freight forwarders and heavy weight air specialists like Emery Worldwide and BAX Global.
  • The big four, despite settling labor contracts in record time, still face leery shippers afraid of being burned by unionized carriers. Thanks to the 1994 LTL strike followed by last summer's strike against United Parcel Service, unionized carriers have had to work extra hard to convince shippers that labor peace is at hand. Despite the healthy economy, some carriers like Roadway are expecting earnings in the second quarter to be off by as much as 40 percent compared to last year. That said, Roadway and others are not going to drop prices in order to lure back shippers but find ways to add value instead.
  • Japan has failed to live up to its end of the bargain for port reform and the Federal Maritime Commission is weighing whether sanctions may be needed after all. The FMC agreed last year to postpone hefty fines against Japanese lines calling on U.S. ports after the Japanese government promised to open up its harbors more to U.S. carrier operations. The Japanese have yet to live up to those promises.
  • You can add Pacific Northwest lumber and forest products shippers to the list of those demanding details on Union Pacific Railroad's recovery efforts. Since late last year the Surface Transportation Board has been requiring UP to provide detailed carload and cycle time information, and UP voluntarily supplies information to representatives of National Industrial Transportation League, Chemical Manufacturers Association and Society of the Plastics Industry under confidentiality agreements. Now, after hearing complaints from a group of Pacific Northwest lumber shippers and a congressional delegation from Oregon and Washington, UP Chairman and CEO Dick Davidson has agreed to provide biweekly details on rail car orders and transit times to them as well.
  • Hallmark Cards lives for point-of-sale information. It uses the data to forecast future sales and is an indispensable part of the company's supply chain management. The $4 billion company isn't just in the greeting card business; the Kansas City-based giant has divisions devoted to television programs and craft supplies. Hallmark executive Marc Evans shared his company's experience with making the most of POS data at the Voluntary Inter-Industry Commerce Standards Association conference in New Orleans last week.
  • Con-Way Transportation Services is putting hand-held computers in the hands of all of its drivers as a part of a $7.2 million technology upgrade to improve communication between the driver and the dispatcher. Instead of paging drivers and waiting for them to call in from a pay phone during their shifts, Con-Way dispatchers and drivers send messages to each other electronically using the Norand Pen*Key 6100 computer. Communication that used to take minutes or even hours, depending on traffic conditions, now takes literally seconds.
  • Canada is looking for ways to improve grain transportation. The problems are great because railroads have been notorious at abandoning pieces of a line without consideration for how farms are reached. The bottomline is Canada is looking for ways to make its grain producers more competitive on the open market. Improving the transportation system is an obvious solution to making Canada a world player.
