    Normal work resumed on the midnight shift, but by then road work was severely affected.

  • GAS RUSH

  • Con-Way Transportation Services had a double announcement: In addition to moving its headquarters from Palo Alto, Calif., to Ann Arbor, Mich., the LTL is launching a new logistics service that will give small to mid-size companies an alternative to traditional third-party logistics. The new subsidiary, Con-Way Integrated Services, will be based in Chicago.
  • There was a time when brown paper grocery bags stuffed with cash were carried into congressional offices or handed over on street corners to political aides. Now, Political Action Committee checks are the currency of modern American influence peddling. Could business and labor interests expect something in return for the half-billion dollars or so they contribute each election to House and Senate candidates? Perhaps that's why United Parcel Service, FedEx, Union Pacific, the Teamsters and the United Transportation Union are among the top-40 contributors to congressional lobbying campaigns this election.
  • Cycle times, customization and globalization in the supply chain will dramatically be influenced by the Internet, says Judy Jarrell. Jarrell is an adviser on strategy and alliances, logistics, electronic commerce and catalog business for Federal Express Corp. Kevin Q. Sullivan, vice president of Digital Commerce Ltd., sees the Internet changing the procurement process and lowering a company's overall costs.
  • United Parcel Service has won back most of its business since the Teamsters' 15-day walkout 14 months ago created the first nationwide strike in the company's 91-year history. But it still is embroiled with the union over creation of 2,000 new full-time jobs, a top UPS official said. This year, UPS already has posted record six-month earnings and is on track to do in excess of $24 billion in revenue -- despite the 4 percent drop in domestic business. However, the Teamsters union has filed a protest under Article 22 of its contract with UPS, claiming the company has reneged on its promise. UPS has asked for expedited arbitration on the dispute, which is still pending. It seems most likely the union will sue for back pay and other costs.
  • Tensions between the FedEx Pilots Association and management were taken to a new level. The union's negotiating committee voted to poll its members if a strike should be part of their arsenal against the company if negotiations don't come to a head soon. Meanwhile, the company sent a copy of its contract proposal to all 3,500 pilots before the union had a chance to review it, irking the negotiating committee. Members were expected to authorize a no-volunteer or overtime flying provision at the end of last week, further raising the urgency of the negotiations as the busy peak season begins.
  • CN President Paul Tellier said that the railroad is cutting 1,600 jobs this year and 1,400 jobs in 1999 in response to lower earnings during the third quarter. The move angered union leaders, who said they were led to believe by the railroad after recent contract negotiations that downsizing was complete. Rail observers wondered whether the company was panicking in the face of its merger with Illinois Central. But Tellier said the cuts were unrelated, even though CN's debt has tripled to C$4.1 billion since the merger was announced.
  • Opponents of the Clinton administration's proposal to create a Harbor Services User Fee got a temporary reprieve early in October when it was announced that the proposal will not be submitted to Congress this year. But numerous firms and trade groups in the transportation industry, including the American Association of Port Authorities and the National Industrial Transportation League, are not resting much easier.
  • Third-quarter results are up for several logistical companies -- Ryder System, C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Menlo Logistics and CNF Transportation -- all reported stronger third quarters. Ryder System Inc.'s third quarter revenue rose 7 percent to $1.29 billion, the company announced. For the third quarter of 1998, C.H. Robinson's net revenues increased 19.3 percent to $63.8 million from $53.5 million for the third quarter of 1997.
  • A Canadian Coast Guard icebreaking fee that is set to come into effect on Dec. 21 for the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River has shipowners and ports worried that they will lose business to other modes. The Coast Guard wants to collect C$13.3 million a year from commercial operators for icebreaking. The charge works out to about C$5,700 a trip for a ship sailing the lakes and the river between Dec. 21 and April 15, even if there is no ice or the vessel doesn't require assistance. For grain, iron ore, salt, gravel and other bulk commodities that are the mainstay of the Great Lakes, the cost could prove to be too high.
