  • National Mediation Board Chairwoman Maggie Jacobsen, who in 1996 brought railroads and rail unions through an atypical round of collective bargaining that produced new wage, benefit and work rule agreements without congressional intervention, is drumming for a cultural change in the collective bargaining process in hopes of producing partnerships rather than mutual resentment. Rail management and labor begin a new round of contract talks this week.
  • The trucking industry is treating its 300,000 independent contract drivers like "expendable commodities" and the solution is to scrap their mileage-based pay in favor of an hourly compensation plan with premiums for overtime, said Todd Spencer, executive vice president of the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association.
  • It takes an average of 45 days for information to wind its way through an enterprise; the product and service cycle averages 30 days; the cash-to-cash cycle is 75 days. Under the rules of e-commerce, those metrics will shrink to two days for information, 15 days for products and services and 10 days for cash-to-cash. This was just one of the perspectives offered by the "Conquering the E-Value Chain Challenge" panel at this year's Council of Logistics Management conference in Toronto.
  • The Teamsters union made good on its promise to try a nationwide strike against Overnite Transportation Co., the nation's fifth-largest stand-alone LTL carrier and biggest nonunion LTL carrier. The two sides predictably differed on the impact of the strike. The carrier said it was coping with minimal service disruptions. The union called it a success and pointed to Overnite's $6 million expenditure on its strike contingency plan as an example of how the strike is hurting. Shippers were caught in the middle of this classic labor struggle now in its fifth year.
  • Norfolk Southern recently conceded what many industry observers already had seen for themselves - that it screwed up in its operational integration of Conrail. However, according to NS Vice President of Strategic Planning Jim McClellan, most of the congestion that occurred on NS after June 1 had its roots in poor planning 10 years before the transaction took place. The key to long-term recovery and better service, McClellan said, will be determined by the railroad's ability to improve infrastructure.
  • Circle International is launching a new domestic service that will offer three levels of air freight forwarding between any two domestic points: next day by 5 p.m., second day by 5 p.m. and economy deferred with delivery on the third or fourth business day after pickup. The service is designed to funnel domestic work from its huge pool of international freight forwarding customers.
  • The Department of Defense is looking for ways to increase its commitment to using commercial carriers to move military equipment. The U.S. Military Traffic Management Command is testing the use of contractors to move cargo. It also is testing the use of third-party logistics firms to arrange and manage its shipments. According to top officials, a reduced military presence overseas places more emphasis on delivering American troops and equipment from the U.S. rather than supporting a global network of bases.
  • British Columbia Railway Co. is getting on track by getting on the web to provide better information and more personal service to key customers. BC Rail, a commercial crown corporation wholly owned by the province of British Columbia, is Canada's fourth-largest railway with 1,200 miles of track. The railroad mainly ships forest products, sulfur and coal. The initial idea, said Ian Banks, manager, electronic commerce for the company, was to lower shippers' costs of doing business with BC Rail and to help the company "improve our competitive advantage."
