  • The trucking industry is reeling from the first effects of what is expected to be a billion-dollar agreement between diesel engine manufacturers and the Environmental Protection Agency to make amends over alleged cheating on diesel engine testing. The first round of the landmark EPA settlement was an agreement by the seven major diesel engine makers to pay $83 million in fines and spend an additional $1 billion in engine improvements. Eventually, the settlement could involve as many as 1 million medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and boost costs for carriers and shippers.
  • The Edison Electric Institute warns that transportation modes - especially railroads - aren't paying sufficient attention to proposed global climate treaties that would reduce coal use and cause diesel, gasoline and electricity prices to soar. One government study predicts gasoline prices could rise to $2 per gallon and electricity prices double if the Senate ratifies the so-called Kyoto protocol. EEI's Chuck Linderman also is critical of railroad marketing and pricing initiatives he called "short-sighted" because they ultimately will reduce the use of coal. Western Fuels Association executive Fred Palmer echoed Linderman's comments, warning that railroad abuse of market power could bode ill for the coal-rich Powder River Basin that Palmer called "the most important energy resource in the world."
  • Puerto Rican statehood may still be up in the air, but the island is treated as U.S. property when it comes to shipping rights. The terminals in San Juan fall under the protection of the Jones Act, which says cargo from mainland U.S. ports - which means most of it - must be carried on U.S.-flag ships. As infrastructure changes are made, the port will become even more competitive for the U.S. goods. Special tax breaks already have made Puerto Rico an attractive mecca for chemical manufacturing.
  • The third quarter was not kind to the combination airlines, especially Northwest. The pilot strike, which took the airline out of service for nearly three weeks during the quarter, sent cargo revenue plummeting by more than 40 percent to $117 million. United Airlines and Continental Airlines were the only two cargo divisions at the majors to show gains, albeit small, in the quarter.
  • After 65 years the federal government within the next two weeks will issue proposed rules on bringing the nation's hours-of-service rules for truck drivers - written during the Great Depression - into the 21st century, a top federal highway official promised. Although the FHA was not officially releasing its recommendation for the rules changes, an outline already had been leaked. In general the new rules will be more performance-based and less prescriptive than the current rules. Just about the only question is whether the government will place some type of restriction on nighttime driving.
  • As shippers, railroads and other interested parties clamor for the Surface Transportation Board's attention on access to Houston in the Houston/Gulf Coast oversight proceeding, the fate of the Texas Mexican Railroad is uncertain. Although some sources say Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Kansas City Southern each have an eye on buying a piece of the Tex Mex, both railroads deny that an acquisition is in the cards. Because it has alternative routes into Mexico, BNSF officials claim it doesn't need the bridge carrier. And KCS, which already owns a 49 percent stake in the railroad, denies rumors that the two companies have different plans for the railroad's future.
  • The next evolution in enterprise resource planning systems for manufacturers won't be in the traditional arenas of cost control or materials management but in customer service, asserts Michael Nixon, supply-chain manager for ERP software developer SAP America. Only three years ago manufacturers were turning to ERP to improve their internal efficiency, Nixon told participants at the Health and Personal Care Distribution Conference. Today the CEOs are opting for ERP systems to build market share using customer service programs such as call centers, automated sales forces and electronic commerce.
  • Vendors at this year's American Trucking Associations Management Conference in New Orleans used the gathering as a platform to launch new products and announce changes in their corporate structure and strategy. Perhaps the most significant announcement came from San Diego-based Qualcomm. The company's OmniTracs division changed its name to Qualcomm Wireless Business Solutions. The new moniker reflects a major step in the evolution of the mobile communications firm: the marriage of its OmniTracs satellite-communications system with its Code Division Multiple Access digital wireless communications technology.
  • A new Brazilian partnership represents a classic case of joining 'em if you can't beat 'em: Brazilian carrier Grupo Libra is now part of the carrier stable that includes Crowley American Transport, Ivaran and APL Lines in the trade between the U.S. and the South American east coast. While no one is sure of all the ramifications of the vessel-sharing agreement, it could easily give Crowley much better access to the Brazilian and Mercosul markets. For Libra, a partnership with Crowley could cool some of the bad blood that's been heating up between U.S. and Brazilian shipping companies and government agencies.
