Have you ever had to work with Homeland Security, FBI, ATF, Police or any other Government agency in regards to "Suspect Freight" in your possession (Carrier or Warehouse)? Have you ever had the Dogs come through your warehouse, onto your terminal dock or into your truck/trailer looking for illegal contraband? When presented with a warrant, do you cooperate? I'm just so surprised to hear the professionals we work with from these agencies tell us how many people in Freight Transportation do NOT cooperate. The funniest thing is the last time we had one of these agencies visit our facility, I (The Owner) was working in Miami. lol I looked suspicious, until they found out I was there working on a Government contract. lol Its our position that its best to cooperate and do everything you can to help the authorities. Who are these people in Transportation Logistics that don't?

Is it concerning to anyone else the rate at with foreign entities are getting involved in the us trucking market? It's 9.1% of the US GDP and revenue that is going to these companies isn't being taxed in the united states. Also the security risk in foreign governments being able to gain location data and understand the most needed shipping lanes is a scary thought to me.

The story of inflation & cost to do business continues to get bleaker for our carrier friends out there. With most freight I see on the board barely being above this $2.27 operating cost estimate is the damage more then people are aware of to the carriers? https://www.ccjdigital.com/economic-trends/freight-demand/article/15678318/permile-cost-of-trucking-hit-record-high-in-2023?utm_medium=email&utm_content=06-26-2024&utm_campaign=CM_NL_CCJ+Daily&utm_source=CM_NL_CCJ+Daily&ust_id=3c8edb5b1c3638e951e9bedb13d445f98bb2419a&oly_enc_id=9629J8650390I5N

Guys, I am in the Payments space. I am not a Broker. I have a Dispatching operation asking me to plug him in with active Freight Brokers. He supplies me with 2-3 Carrier accounts a week so I know he is legit. My question for the group is this. Who here works with Dispatchers to source capacity? Has it been a good or bad experience?

Looking for a cold storage warehouse company. Preferably with multiple locations in the US. NOT Linneage or Henningsen. Anyone know of any really warehouse partners out there?
