  • Financier Carl Lindner, who controls Chiquita Brands and the Cincinnati Reds baseball team, also controls the majority of Amtrak common stock, even though you can't get a banana daiquiri in an Amtrak bar car or buy a seat at a Reds game from an Amtrak ticket agent. Although the Department of Transportation-owned preferred stock assures Lindner could never gain ownership of Amtrak's assets or the Northeast Corridor, the government may have to pay Lindner off before Amtrak can be restructured financially in preparation for operating without federal subsidies.
  • Jim Whittinghill, who uses stories and PAC dollars to influence Congress on behalf of the American Trucking Associations, says, "PACs make friends and get you in the game of electing open-minded lawmakers," but "you've first got to have a true and logical position. It's truth and logic that win the votes."
  • After working closely together for four years, FDX Corp. and the international consulting firm KPMG have formed a strategic alliance to develop new business-to-business supply-chain logistics solutions on a global basis. Within a few months the two companies will begin introducing "a whole suite of products" aimed at different sized companies in different industries, according to Scott Rosenberger, a consulting partner at KPMG. In announcing the alliance, FDX said the two companies will bring customers a complete supply-chain solution, including design, implementation and execution.
  • The Teamsters union's second job action in four months against Overnite Transportation Co. will have no lasting impact on operations or customer loyalty and has only served to harden the anti-Teamster faction within the nation's largest nonunion LTL trucking company, its top officer said. Leo H. Suggs, Overnite's chairman, CEO and president, told Traffic World that the Teamsters "would go broke before we will" if the labor dispute comes down to an economic war of attrition. Overnite is owned by Union Pacific Corp., a $10 billion conglomerate. The Teamsters represent around 4,000 workers at 22 of Overnite's 166 terminals nationwide.
  • Shipper groups met recently with the Surface Transportation Board to voice their complaints about continued service problems on Norfolk Southern and CSX following their takeover of Conrail in June. Instead of showing improvement, service measurements supplied by the railroads do not accurately portray the types of service delays - transit times doubled, in some cases - that the merger is causing, shippers said. Although shippers were not asking for anything as drastic as an emergency service order, which was issued during UP's crisis, the board did say it would consider asking the railroads for transit time data that would remain confidential.
  • Low ocean freight rates are here to stay unless carriers can find a way out of the market-driven price cycle, says Mark Page, director, London-based Drewry Shipping Consulates Ltd. Carriers' strategy of trying to recoup losses with opportunistic increases and surcharges is not sustainable, he said. The carriers' brightest hope is deregulation, which will pave the way for more creative business strategies. The more sophisticated carriers, Page says, will be able to use deregulation to better exploit their multimodal assets.
  • There's nothing like a good rumor to rejuvenate interest and stimulate speculation about what the industry will look like a year down the road. At this year's Scott & Stringfellow Transportation and Logistics Conference, the talk swirling around the possible acquisition of AEI by Danzas had everyone pondering what a marriage of these two freight forwarding giants would do to change the industry's landscape. While consolidation long has been a fact with larger companies gobbling up regional freight forwarders all around the globe, the new focus is on what the world will look like once huge mergers and acquisitions among some of the largest companies start to occur. Deutsche Post started the ball rolling with its purchase of Danzas two years ago, and the possibilities of further industry consolidation seem endless.
  • For the first time in its seven-year history, transportation communications company HighwayMaster Communications is making money. It all started last year with the hiring of Chief Executive Officer Jana Bell, who promptly revamped the company, brought on new people and reduced costs. The first evidence of the company's turnaround came in February, when it announced profitable results for 1998 and the fourth quarter. In August, the company announced that its second quarter also was profitable. Now, said Todd Felker, senior vice president of sales and marketing for HighwayMaster, the company is more focused, infrastructure has been built and a new management team has been brought in by Bell.
