We recommend that CPG companies, and others that ship refrigerated goods, pay close attention to
Marten Transport s (NASDAQ: MRTN) results each quarter. Marten, which reported its fourth quarter last week, is listed seventh on the Transport Topics list of top refrigerated carriers and is the only refrigerated pure play among the publicly traded carriers (Swift Refrigerated is fourth on the list, but its results are buried in the 18,000-tractor Knight-Swift trucking segment). So, Marten s results can give CPG companies a unique insight into how refrigerated carriers are performing without the impact of dry goods getting in the way.
Marten reported record results and it did so more with freight selection than pure price.
Elon Musk s move to Texas brings jobs and opportunities by Jeremy Lott Print this article
After months of fighting with California regulators in person and on social media, South African-Canadian billionaire Elon Musk confirmed late last year that he had taken his ball and gone home to Texas.
His companies include Tesla, SpaceX, and the Boring Company. Their presence in the Lone Star State is rapidly scaling up, setting up ample opportunities and a few Texas-sized problems.
In the same interview in which he first admitted, For myself, yes, I have moved to Texas, Musk took a swipe at the California business and regulatory environment.
American Trucking Associations and safety group Road Safe America have sent a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg outlining their support for guidelines for speed limiters for policymakers in Congress and at the Department of Transportation.
