  • In a move that drastically changes its focus away from long-haul unionized LTL freight, Yellow Corp. agreed to buy East Coast regional trucking innovator Jevic Transportation for $160 million, plus $40 million debt assumption. The deal is expected to close by July 7. The move is expected to anchor Yellow's growing regional LTL family, which is projected to provide the corporation with 40 percent of its earnings next year. Yellow Corp. Chairman, President and CEO Maury Myers says he's searching for a proven executive to lead Yellow's regional carrier group and expects to name one this summer
  • Transportation unions have plenty of campaign cash, but something else opens even more congressional doors for them—votes. One of every four votes cast in elections is from union households—and the percentage is rising. This is what makes organized labor's opinions count on Capitol Hill. Exploiting this opportunity are 30 transportation-related unions that lobby under the umbrella of the AFL-CIO Transportation Trades Department. "We're a counterbalancing force to corporate carrier associations" such as the American Trucking Associations and Association of American Railroads, said TTD's Executive Director Ed Wytkind.
  • The state of logistics is "disappointing," according to Robert V. Delaney, senior vice president of St. Louis-based Cass Information Systems. Logistics productivity gains of the early 1990s have been eroded. U.S. business logistics costs have remained stagnant at 10.6 percent of Gross Domestic Product for the past three years. Although that's a big improvement from the 16.6 percent of GDP that logistics consumed in 1980 when the Motor Carrier Act deregulated interstate trucking, it's a far cry from Delaney's goal of logistics costs being 10 percent of GDP by 2002. Delaney blames several factors, including policy makers who are limiting trucking productivity gains artificially
  • Trucking-related fatalities dropped 1.8 percent last year compared with 1997, giving trucking interests cause for relief. Fatalities associated with large trucks dropped from 5,398 in 1997 to an estimated 5,302, according to preliminary figures by the Department of Transportation. The American Trucking Associations called it "great news," evidence that its support of industry and government partnerships is working. Alcohol-related deaths in trucking were virtually nonexistent. For the overall country, alcohol was involved in 38.4 percent of last year's highway deaths, down from 38.6 percent in 1997.
  • Pacific Northwest forest products shippers are taking steps to get around the issue of a shrinking supply of boxcars. One way shippers are coping is by taking more control by purchasing their own railcars. Another method has had more success for another shipper—working closer with the railroads. By sharing forecast requirements with both its shortline and Class I carriers, Roseburg Forest Products has been able to smooth out the peaks and valleys of boxcar supply and demand.
  • An innovative Internet-based data warehouse system is allowing shippers to track movements of imports with 20/20 vision. Developed in collaboration with Barthco International, the system monitors movements of containers imported from Asian suppliers. This better visibility also reduced claims benefits and lowered inventories, its backers say.
  • Consolidated Freightways wants to eliminate third parties from its third-party business of freight forwarding. The Menlo Park, Calif.-based trucking company is now certified as an international freight forwarder by the International Air Transport Association, clearing the way for the company to book its own freight with airlines, increase buying power, drive down costs and keep customers happier. The company is doing the same thing on its domestic PrimeTime Air service by installing a new software program system-wide that will allow CF employees to book air freight themselves rather than passing it off to a competitor.
  • The weather was warm, the wind blew gently over the shores of Lake Michigan and music floated in the air from a blues festival. Meanwhile, shippers—retailers, that is—were talking about their needs at The Retail Systems 1999 and VICS shows in Chicago. Steve Rutkowski, the director of logistics-IS for Sears, Roebuck and Co., spoke about achievements in the area of home delivery of appliances with the company's custom-created geospatial logistics system.
