They all have their nuances and special rules and regulations, especially if you are dealing with HAZMAT. Ocean and air usually involve customs, duties, embargoed countries, clearances and tariffs, etc. Rail is an entirely different issue with demurrage rules, tracking and tracing and understanding open vs. closed origins and destinations. Road, you run into max weights, detention and demurrage rules, hours of service, etc. So, each mode is unique in its own way.
Empty Shelves?
Being in logistics has a way of educating us. I can honestly say that if I were not, I'd probably be doing the same thing... Due to the strike, we are seeing mass panicking and purchasing of household goods, such as tissue and paper towels. However, we manufacturer majority of these supplies domestically. I've heard several members of my family tell me I should go and purchase some. To be fair, I probably will, only because when we actually need some, we won't be able to purchase it at our normal stores because everyone has OBLITERATED the supply!!! Instead of logistics, we should all sell common household supplies for when everyone panics 😂 What has caught your attention about the strike?

One of the things that caught my attention was the attitude of Harold Daggett...maybe it was the accent, the gold chains, whatever, but he seemed more like a mob boss than anything else. Not good for PR in my opinion.
Favorite Social Platforms
There is a lot going on in the social world. I focus on LinkedIn, but have seen many going to X (aka Twitter) and some references to Reddit. Meanwhile, many drivers are in Facebook groups. What social platform is your favorite to talk about freight?

LinkedIn is basically it for me. There is one site on Facebook called Let's Talk Liquid that I also follow and it is about bulk trucks. Don't do Twitter, X or whatever it is called today or Instagram, TikTok, etc.
Payment Terms in Freight
What do you think the average Freight payment term with a shipper is? Net 15, Net 30, Net 60, Net 90? Whats the longest payment term you allow and why?

I know of a "company" that deliberately slow paid their invoices especially at the end of the month, quarter, etc. It made the books look better, but sure did make it difficult for us in procurement trying to negotiate terms in good faith when all along we knew that Finance was rewarded and encouraged the slow payment. We were told that's just the way it is...welcome to xyz company.
Shock, Nuclear and Reptile Verdicts
Cannot remember who asked( apologies) about the links and lawyers book teaching other lawyers how to sue carrier. The first link is my self promoting of my article from LI. The second is the presentation done by the US attorney and Canadian attorney at the Insurance presentation. If you are an asset carrier operating in IL, CA, TX and FL top 4 states. If you are a carrier please do not advertise for the people trying to rock our industry. (1) Lawyers hunting payouts: Shock, Nuclear and Reptile Verdicts growing. | LinkedIn

@Bill Robinson I live in North Texas and it's the few bad actors out there that keep these lawyers in business. They have painted all trucking companies with the same brush.

@Bill Robinson Not sure if Matt is on here? He definitely is one of my favorites. He explains things in a such a way that us non-legal folks can actually understand.
