While supply chains have poured investment into transportation and warehouse technology, yard and dock operations remain one of the most manual and least visible parts of the network, a gap that is increasingly difficult to manage as volumes fluctuate and labor tightens. While the C3 State of Yard and Dock Management 2026 survey is underway, […]

Warehouse operations can make or break an organization. That problem is at the heart of Gather AI’s latest funding round. The Pittsburgh-based startup announced it has raised $40 million in Series B financing, led by Smith Point Capital Management, the firm founded by former Salesforce co-CEO Keith Block. The raise brings Gather AI’s total funding […]
Fuel Transport is taking a long-term view on growth, expanding owned warehouse infrastructure at a time when many logistics providers remain cautious. For Robert Piccioni, CEO of Montreal-based Fuel Transport, the strategy reflects years of disciplined investment and close collaboration with customers, not a reaction to short-term market swings. While Fuel operates primarily as a […]
Warehouse automation is entering a new phase, one driven less by fixed infrastructure and more by autonomous systems that can perceive, adapt and operate continuously inside live facilities. The next wave of FreightTech isn’t just optimizing transportation lanes or digitizing workflows in the cloud. It’s moving into the four walls of the warehouse, where physical […]
Logistics has long depended on tribal knowledge, the unwritten rules and hard-earned judgment held by a small group of experienced operators. They know which carriers actually perform on certain lanes, how specific customers expect exceptions to be handled, and what worked the last time a shipment went wrong. That knowledge has powered freight networks for […]
The freight market has spent the better part of two years grinding along the bottom, offering little relief to brokers operating on thin margins and tighter credit. But as early signals suggest the cycle may finally be inflecting upward, recent earnings calls from RXO and C.H. Robinson offer a timely warning: a rising market does […]
TravelCenters of America’s (TA) most recent charity golf tournament did more than set a fundraising record. It showed that industry support for driver health and hardship relief is not only growing, but becoming more intentional. The tournament raised more than $100,000 for the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund, the largest single-year contribution since the partnership […]
As long-haul carriers outgrow legacy TMS platforms, unified operating systems built around AI and financial intelligence are starting to take over The Chicago-based Datatruck recently raised a $12 million Series A round led by Avenue Growth Partners. This highlights a broader shift across North American trucking. Carriers are increasingly replacing legacy TMS platforms with AI-native […]
Missed pickups have long been an accepted cost of doing business in less-than-truckload shipping. They’re frustrating, inefficient and expensive, but for an industry built on shared capacity and tight scheduling, they’ve often felt unavoidable. C.H. Robinson is betting that doesn’t have to be the case. The logistics provider has rolled out a new set of […]
Winter Storm Fern has battered the Southeast and Lower Midwest and is set to finish its sweep through the Northeast by the end of the day. According to ABC News, snowfall totals have topped 8” in Arkansas, 11” in Illinois and Ohio, 13” in Indiana, 8” in Kansas, 12” in Missouri, 7” in Oklahoma, 6” […]
The first wave of Winter Storm Fern has fallen over the Southeast and lower Midwest. As predicted, the dividing line between ice and snow remains Interstate 40. Major interstates are shut down across the country in various spots. Interstate 70 is closed in various spots throughout Missouri, fairly close to St. Louis, as a result […]
Artificial intelligence has already made its way into procurement. It shows up in sourcing tools, analytics dashboards, and supplier platforms, often quietly embedded in day-to-day workflows. And yet, most procurement leaders still hesitate to say they are ready for it. That contradiction sits at the center of ProcureAbility’s 2026 CPO Report, which found that while […]
24 hours out from a major winter weather event becomes the perfect window for assessing the full impact of what’s to come. That’s when meteorologists get a clearer picture of what’s actually going to happen. For the most part, the areas affected haven’t changed, just the accumulation numbers get more confident and where cities are […]
That is the reality facing shippers and carriers as a sprawling winter system stretches from the Lower Midwest into the Southeast. North of Interstate 40, conditions resemble a familiar winter pattern: snow, cold, and manageable delays. South of it, Arctic air at the surface collides with warmer air aloft, creating a corridor of freezing rain […]
A powerful winter storm is setting its sights on a wide swath of the Southeast and the lower Midwest this weekend, bringing a dangerous mix of snow, freezing rain, and ice that could significantly disrupt road travel and regional freight movement. Meteorologists say the setup is particularly concerning for southern states that are less equipped […]
As U.S. importers wait on a Supreme Court decision that could upend the last year of work with constantly changing tariffs, a new tool from Flexport is offering businesses a way to quantify what has largely been an abstract legal debate: how much money they might actually get back. Flxport launched a Tariff Refund Calculator, […]
Hwy Haul is celebrating its seventh anniversary by unveiling a suite of AI-driven tools designed to make freight management fully autonomous. The company announced the launch of its AI Agents and AI Teammates, along with a new cloud-native AI Transportation Management System (TMS) for freight brokers, shippers, and carriers. The release marks Hwy Haul’s transition […]
For years, nearshoring has been sold to logistics operators as a simple equation: move work closer, add people, lower costs. In practice, that model has begun to crack under its own weight. As freight markets remain volatile and operational margins stay thin, the industry is confronting a harder truth, scaling by headcount alone rarely delivers […]
