  • The drums are beating for a nationwide strike at Overnite Transportation, the nation's fifth-largest stand-alone LTL carrier and largest nonunion carrier. The Teamsters union, which has a foothold in the company, is frustrated by delays over contract talks at terminals where they have earned representation. A nationwide strike has been authorized, perhaps starting late this month. Overnite officials have challenged the union to a winner-take-all national vote, but Teamsters ridiculed that suggestion. Both sides are deep in strike preparations.
  • A failed attempt by Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, to claim for his state an exemption to the congressional freeze on truck weights is a curtain-raiser to what will be debated often and with emotion during the 106th Congress next year. The action opened the door to new skirmishes, breaking a truce among congressional supporters of the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century, the record $217 billion highway and transit spending bill passed earlier this session. While the American Trucking Associations considered the move a nonevent, railroad interests called it an attempt at "another slice of the salami."
  • The head of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, an international association of law enforcement personnel who promote uniform and reciprocal truck and bus inspections and enforcement throughout North America, wants to drive down truck-related fatalities. Capt. Jack Van Steenburg of the New York State Police will get some help in his effort from Congress, which recently passed a healthy increase in funding for roadside truck inspection as part of TEA-21. Van Steenburg noted that human error in truck fatalities is cited "far more" than mechanical defects of trucks.
  • The Canadian National-Illinois Central merger application was filed and with it the requisite details on how the end-to-end merger is in line with the country's national transportation policy. Two things that weren't previously pointed out: UP would be the big loser when it came to traffic diversions and Wisconsin Central would benefit, due to a new connection with CN at Duluth, Minn. In addition, plans for a new connection between the two carriers in Chicago and the anticipated enhanced single-line service should go a long way toward avoiding a Houston-like service meltdown in The Windy City.
  • While airlines and forwarders scramble to find ways to move their freight in and out of Hong Kong's new international airport, Federal Express and United Parcel Service are reveling in the fact that their systems are running smoothly. FedEx and UPS are the only two companies with the right to handle their own cargo using their own people and systems at Chek Lap Kok. Everyone else, or about 80 percent of the freight, is tied to Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Ltd. HACTL's computer system stumbled at the airport's start on July 6, wreaking havoc for almost everyone trying to move perishable and high-value freight out of the $20 billion airport.
  • OSI Proyectos Costa Rica SA is making a multimillion-dollar bet that if they help to build a maritime hub in Costa Rica, then business will come - in the form of shippers, banks, investors and everyone else connected with the maritime movement of goods. After its initial $6 million investment, OSI has plans to inject another $15 million. But that's pocket change compared with the $2.2 billion in total estimated costs for all that is being proposed, including a marina, office park, upscale homes, stores, cruise terminals and related facilities. There is also talk of a canal to compete with Panama.
  • The GM strike likely will drag on through the summer, with the full impact anticipated to hit sometime in August, when the automaker's production normally would be running at full tilt. Some of the effects of the strike so far: a reported second-quarter loss of $1.2 billion and the company continues to hemorrhage at an estimated $80 million a day. GM has stopped production of 225,000 vehicles and is considering canceling health benefits for some employees. Right now the biggest guessing game is just what kind of impact the strike will have in the long run.
  • Syncra Software has released the first collaborative planning and forecasting software to comply with retail guidelines set last month. The application, described as "BetweenWare," enables companies to share information and prevent additional costs related to unplanned activities. The product, developed for the retailers and their suppliers, is currently being adapted for the automotive and technology arenas and LTL carriers as well.
  • The Canadian Autoworkers Union has asked Canadian National Railway to agree to a joint no-strike, no-lockout pledge until Oct. 5 to give the two sides time to work out a new pension deal as part of a new labor agreement. In a bid for support, the union sent copies of its proposal to more than 1,000 of CN's major customers, stating it could help avert service disruptions. The stumbling block: CN wants the union to accept a deal similar to what it has agreed to with other unions. CN is hoping it can come to agreement with the CAW by October.
