  • Not since a terrified Penn Central board of directors sacked its chairman and president a week before filing for bankruptcy protection 30 years ago has a railroad executive-suite massacre occurred equivalent to the firing by CSX Chairman John Snow of President Ron Conway and two Conway proteges, Senior Operations Vice President Gary Spiegel and Senior Marketing Vice President John Sammon. Since CSX and Norfolk Southern incorporated a carved-up Conrail into their systems last June 1, the stock of both railroads has plummeted, profits nearly disappeared, service quality evaporated, customers who can have gone elsewhere and the Federal Railroad Administration has criticized the railroad's track maintenance program. Things have just been worse at CSX than at NS.
  • Shippers are taking their message of anti-competitive railroads to Washington in hopes of getting someone to listen. Groups such as the Consumers United for Rail Equity and the Transportation Intermediaries Association testified to members of the House Judiciary Committee that railroads are the "only industry in America not subject to the antitrust laws, not regulated and whose members don't have to compete with each other." While shippers would like to change that, railroads are happy with the oversight of the Surface Transportation Board and Congress has shown little inkling to change that.
  • Web merchants, particularly online grocers, need to look hard at charging more for delivery, say many consultants watching the exploding industry. While Peapod, the Chicago-based online grocer may be on its last leg, a whole new crop of Internet-based grocers is coming on the scene. The key is to find a way to make money from the last mile of the delivery, the transportation piece that has boggled Internet players from the beginning. Failing to deliver as promised is a huge problem for online merchants, akin to running a marathon and stumbling at the end.
  • If the first two major LTL earnings reports are any indication, it's going to be a profitable year in trucking. Roadway Express and American Freightways both enjoyed healthy earnings increases from last year's opening quarter. Roadway, the nation's largest LTL carrier, enjoyed a 31 percent rise in net income to $10.4 million in the quarter. AF, the nation's eighth-largest LTL carrier, nearly doubled its first-quarter earnings to $13.4 million. Both carriers cited increases in productivity and yield management that came in spite of record-high diesel prices in the first quarter.
  • Railroad executives agree there is a lot of wasted capacity. There are also plenty of lanes where shippers are told the railroad is full. In the past, railroads' first response to capacity constraints was to buy new equipment. Now railroads are looking at better coordination among the railroads and improved information systems that can make huge improvements for very little money. RailLinc, a rail-funded technology company, has set up a new website aimed at improving intermodal transfers as a start.
  • Kitty Hawk doused investors with a spate of bad news, spurring rumors that the company may have to enter bankruptcy protection to climb out of the mess. There is a very real possibility that the air cargo company will miss a May 15 loan payment; it will restate its 1999 earnings; and it plans to write down the value of many of its aircraft assets. Kitty Hawk's newly appointed Chief Financial Officer Paul H. Tate resigned amid the bad news but is expected to stay on as an investor. Kitty Hawk's stock dropped to below $1 in a massive sell-off April 12.
  • The competitive stakes have changed in the U.S.-Latin America and Caribbean trades, following the announcement that a new deep-water container terminal for the U.S. Gulf region is planned. The new facility, a 50-50 joint venture between Americana Ships and Stevedoring Services of America, could strengthen the entire U.S. Gulf region. Both companies have committed up to $1 million to conduct a detailed evaluation. The planned terminal is located about 40 miles from Houston and 15 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.
  • International trade-logistics software company Vastera is growing up. The company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to publicly offer up to $70 million of its common stock. Managing underwriters for the offering are Deutsche Bank Alex Brown, Chase H&Q and Banc of America LLC. Vastera decided to go public because "we want to be a large player and we want to dominate our space. It is a piece of our evolution," said Greg Stock, vice president of marketing for Dulles, Va.-based Vastera. The company plans on acquiring other companies with the money and will remain focused on building strategic solutions for global trade.
