Did you miss my latest appearance on FreightWaves' WTT with Timothy Dooner? We talked Chevron! No, not the lubricants, awesome though they are, but rather the 40 year old Supreme Court decision that was recently overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Loper Bright case. How could that decision impact federal regulations of the trucking industry? Watch and find out! #law #supplychain #logistics https://lnkd.in/gPQABrbn

Cargo crime isn’t just a trucking problem. Intermodal rail has its own distinct set of challenges when it comes to the growing threat of theft. In a key session at #Inland24, Intermodal Editor Ari Ashe will talk with a shipper, intermodal service provider, railroad and law enforcement to lay out the problems and potential solutions. Another can’t miss feature of this year’s event. Learn more: https://okt.to/30RKN4

The below article discusses how the WSC has filed a petition in DC court for clarification on the FMC DnD rule on billing truckers for "door" or "carrier" moves. It is very clear that if the move is paid for by the BCO and under contract with the BCO (or if foreign the consignee), then you must bill the BCO or contracted party; not the trucker. The claim below is for only door moves or moves that are set up with the steamship line direct with the trucker. We know that these moves are not covered under the UIIA since the contract is with the EP (Equip Provider) and MC (Motor Carrier) directly. If the EP and MC have a contract and it spells out the DnD, then it is clear that the DnD then falls to the MC. However, Federal and State law supercedes contracts...so we will see what happens.

The FMC's rule on demurrage and detention charges marks a significant milestone in the ongoing quest for transparency and fairness in the shipping industry. Here's what it means for shippers ➡️ http://ms.spr.ly/6049YdzBb

Bed, Bath and Beyond’s (BBBY) administrators are taking legal action against Evergreen, filing a claim of $1.25m with the US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC). The complaint alleges breaches of FMC regulations, including failure to meet capacity commitments and improper application of detention and demurrage charges over two years (2020-2021). Despite Evergreen committing to provide 1,250 feu of cargo space, it only delivered 20% of the agreed capacity, resulting in BBBY seeking alternative shipping options at higher rates (on the spot market). BBBY have also filed complaints against other shipping lines - OOCL, Yang Ming and MSC. The filing also highlights alleged carrier practices of renegotiating rates through surcharges, prompting a deeper scrutiny of Covid-era carrier practices and setting the stage for discussions on detention and demurrage at the upcoming TPM conference in Long Beach. Oh, to be a fly on the wall. https://lnkd.in/grRUmG3G
