What happens between pickup and delivery remains one of the biggest blind spots in the cold chain.
During a recent FreightWaves 3PL Summit panel, Karl McDermott, chief SaaS officer at DeltaTrak, broke down where visibility still falls short and what’s changing.
For years, decisions have been made with delayed or incomplete information. By the time issues surface, the outcome is already set. Claims are filed, product is lost and accountability becomes unclear.
The shift is toward real-time intelligence. Connected devices, geofencing and shelf-life prediction are giving carriers, 3PLs and shippers the ability to act in the moment.
The result:
• Fewer claims
• Less product loss
• Clearer accountability
• Stronger, data-driven operations
The takeaway: visibility alone isn’t enough. What matters is how quickly you can act on the data. ... See MoreSee Less

NPR's All Things Considered explored how rising gas prices are reshaping the gig economy, tapGridwisedwise Analytics CEO Ryan Green for insight.
With fuel costs climbing past $4 a gallon in many markets, delivery drivers are getting more selective about which orders they accept, tightening their routes and rethinking what counts as a worthwhile trip. For many, tips now make up roughly half of their total pay. Green noted the squeeze predates the current spike, as rising costs and increased competition have been compressing driver earnings for some time. Higher gas prices just made it harder to ignore.

ICE agents are now being deployed at airports, raising broader concerns about their role.
Attorney Herman Dhade, president of Detroit Immigration, says their presence is problematic, framing it as a guise for immigration enforcement rather than purely operational support.
He notes that placing ICE in travel environments introduces the potential for questioning and arrests, especially as international travelers are already wary of coming to the U.S.

Most companies are using AI wrong.
88% of enterprises use AI in some form, but only 8% see a measurable impact on their bottom line.
Bob Marsh, chief client officer at OnTrac AI, argues in Automotive News that the top performers aren't using AI to cut headcount. They're using it to finally act on ideas they never had the bandwidth to pursue.
His mental exercise is worth trying. If 20 capable people showed up at your front desk tomorrow, ready to grow revenue, what would you have them do?
The suppliers who emerge stronger from this period won't be the ones who did the same things with fewer people. They'll be the ones who did things they'd never been able to do before. ... See MoreSee Less

Da’Quain Johnson, a 32-year-old father of three, was shot three times in the back by a Grand Rapids Police Department officer after a chase that ended with him on the ground, on his stomach, with a K-9 engaged.
The justification centers on one claim: that he pointed a gun at officers. But the video released so far does not clearly show that.
During a recent press conference, Ven Johnson of Ven Johnson Law and Ben Crump addressed that gap, along with the broader context that this marks the 12th officer-involved shooting by GRPD since 2022.
