The integration of cameras to enable various video-based services in commercial vehicle environments has become one of the strongest trends over recent years, in a fleet video telematics sector that is set to grow by 16% globally to 2020.

Jet fuel tends to be an airline's biggest expense. An analysis by the International Air Transport Association showed that, for the week ending March 27, the weekly average price of jet fuel has skyrocketed 116.8 per cent compared to the previous year's average.

While dozens of other countries have delivered fast, modern train networks, we are stuck with a skeletal system built largely on slow, 19th-century alignments. Even developing nations are passing us by. There is growing recognition at the federal level that things need to change, but substantial and comprehensive reform would require an act of Congress.

After Trump ended the de minimis exemption last year, purchasing an item straight from an international vendor, regardless of the item's value, meant incurring International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs. Now, thanks to a ruling by the Supreme Court that overturned Trump's IEEPA tariffs, and a ruling by the Court of International Trade ruled that all tariffs paid under IEEPA must be returned, buyers may be able to collect a refund.

When geopolitical tensions disrupt normal shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz or the Red Sea, tankers must travel longer distances to deliver crude oil. More days at sea means higher utilization rates and more revenue per voyage. On top of that, higher oil prices increase the value of the cargo being transported, which supports stronger charter rate negotiations between tanker owners and the oil majors that need their ships.

Diesel remains the backbone for moving massive loads across long distances. It provides the torque needed for heavy hauling that other fuel types just cannot match. Investment in diesel tech leads to better fuel systems and longer lifespans for newer models.

Einride has secured an oversubscribed $113 million PIPE (private investment in public equity) ahead of its public debut that's expected for the first half of 2026. The Swedish startup is most well-known for building both electric trucks and autonomous pods that are designed to carry freight with no room for a human driver.

You're scrolling through an online retailer, like Amazon, Shein or eBay, and spot a shirt on sale for $40. You add it to your cart, but at checkout, a $10 shipping fee suddenly appears. Frustrated, you close the tab. But what if that same shirt was priced at $50 with free shipping? The likelihood that you would have bought it without a second thought is much higher.

All truckers and pass drivers will have to take their commercial driver's license tests in English as the Trump administration expands its aggressive campaign to improve safety in the industry and get unqualified drivers off the road. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the latest effort Friday to ensure that drivers understand English well enough to read road signs and communicate with law enforcement officers. Florida already started administering its tests in English.

The sudden closure derailed his career plans. A trucking job was a path forward, he said, a way to earn a better living than his current rotation of gig jobs, such as putting up blinds and detailing cars. He had quit working, paid about $2,000 in tuition and fees to attend the trucking school and was hiring a babysitter to take care of his two kids so he could attend class for a few hours each day.

Analysis by Clean Cities of Department for Transport data has found that registrations of the most commonly sold pickup trucks have risen by 92% in just over a decade, with close to 600,000 (590,587) now on UK roads, compared with 308,103 in 2014. This is a particular problem in urban areas, where the vehicles are not suited to narrow streets, pavements and school environments.

It has been almost three years since the Port of San Francisco awarded TMG Partners the redevelopment rights for San Francisco's Pier 38, with TMG winning over the Port with a pitch that emphasized the speed with which they planned to act and an "immediate revitalization" of the pier with a mix of public, office and maritime uses. But Pier 38, which has been shuttered since 2011, remains red tagged and inactive.

In military service, reliability is priceless, at least until the bill comes due. Some vehicles earned legendary status because they rarely failed in combat and delivered results under pressure. The problem was what it took to keep them that way. Heavy fuel use, maintenance-intensive systems, specialized parts, and recovery demands typically followed these platforms wherever they deployed. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a closer look at reliable military vehicles that were logistically expensive.

It has never been more expensive to buy a new car. The average transaction price last month for buyers in the United States was $48,576, up nearly a third from 2019, according to Edmunds. The "affordable" car-$20,000 or less- is dead. The high prices have been pinned on plenty of economic dynamics: lingering pandemic-era supply chain issues, the introduction of expensive technology into everyday cars, higher labor and raw materials costs, and new tariffs by the Trump administration affecting imported steel, aluminum, and cars themselves.

The railroad industry is a logistics artery, but the companies supplying the equipment that moves freight are where the real money gets made. Locomotives, railcars, tank cars, and digital rail systems are the picks and shovels of modern logistics. These companies capture recurring revenue from manufacturing, leasing, and maintenance contracts, benefiting from regulatory replacement cycles, nearshoring tailwinds, and the simple reality that freight must move.

The Ford F-150 has long been one of America's most popular pickup trucks. This iconic vehicle is known for its capability, versatility, and broad range of trims. But as prices continue to climb, many buyers are finding that a new F-150 can quickly exceed their budget. Between higher MSRPs, costly add-ons, and rising maintenance expenses, buyers are increasingly questioning whether the best-selling truck still offers the best value.
