FedEx Surcharges, Feds Sting Sham CDL Schools, & New NS-CMA CGM Intermodal Launch | Morning Minute
Description
Norfolk Southern and CMA CGM have announced a partnership to launch a new "truck-like" intermodal service connecting the Port of Los Angeles to key Midwest markets. This door-to-door option utilizes high-cube containers to offer the flexibility of trucking while reducing emissions through the rail network.
Federal investigators are cracking down on safety violations with a massive sting operation targeting sham CDL training schools across the United States. The FMCSA has issued notices to more than 500 providers accused of using unqualified instructors and fast-tracking unprepared drivers onto the road.
FedEx is signaling a major shift in strategy by doubling down on premium surcharges and moving away from subsidized low-cost shipping. The company plans to prioritize high-margin sectors like healthcare and heavyweight goods to drive profitability over volume.
