Nearly $9 million worth of goods have been stolen in 179 #cargotheft incidents across the U.S. during the Labor Day holiday from 2019 to 2023, between the Thursday before Labor Day and the Wednesday after. With an average loss of over $162,000 per incident, the record number of thefts was reported in 2022, according to CargoNet, a Verisk business. The data shows that theft incidents peak on the Friday before the holiday, as loaded conveyances are often left unattended, making them prime targets for thieves. The risk is further heightened because many thefts go undetected until businesses reopen after the holiday. #truck #trucking #freight #transportation https://lnkd.in/gTMbDWrR

Unifor members rallied at DHL locations across Canada on Aug. 27, urging the #transport industry and federal government to adopt “Safe Rates” legislation aimed at improving working conditions and #roadsafety.

Economic #trucking trends: The latest economic reports show a continued slow recovery in #freight conditions, with U.S. for-hire truck tonnage edging up slightly in July. The news isn’t as promising for #trailer makers, as orders are low and cancellations high, and industry analysts anticipate #carriers will likely prioritize the purchase of power units with their limited cap-ex in advance of costly EPA27 emissions regulations. James Menzies reports. https://lnkd.in/g6JsgEU7

Traffic at Canada’s two largest #railways is slated to resume today as a rail #workstoppage comes to an end following a Saturday decision from the federal labor board. CN and CPKC shut down railways last Thursday, locking out workers and disrupting #freight traffic countrywide and commuter lines in the Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver areas. The work stoppage came to an end at 12:01 a.m. on Monday based on a decision issued on Saturday by the Canada Industrial Relations Board ordering both companies and their workers to resume operations ahead of binding arbitration. #transportation https://lnkd.in/gMBykU8d
