Carrier Request: Web-Based TMS Recommendations Needed
I’ve got a carrier actively looking for a web-based TMS solution. If anyone in the War Room has suggestions or firsthand experience with platforms they’d recommend (or avoid), drop them below. Your insight would be a huge help. Let’s help them make a smart move.

We have been using Revenova for quite some time now and it’s not bad. We’re moving on from it in the coming months to make room for our proprietary TMS but that’s only due to us outgrowing it.

To my knowledge they have a carrier facing platform, might be worth looking into.
Shipper searches
Here's the latest weekly Shipper Search Index showing some positive gains for shippers searching for capacity and carriers over the past week. It's up 6.75% week-over-week and up 22% since the most recent dip in the last week of May.

Steel + Aluminum Tariff Increases
Tariff Increase Details: The new 50% tariffs apply broadly to imported steel and aluminum products, including downstream items like appliances and automotive parts. The administration has also eliminated previous exemptions and tightened rules to prevent tariff evasion, such as enforcing strict "melted and poured" standards for steel origin. Economic Impact: While the tariffs aim to protect domestic industries, they are expected to increase costs for manufacturers and consumers. For instance, the price of a new car could rise by $2,000 to $4,000, and everyday items like canned beverages may see slight price increases. International Response: The tariff hike has drawn criticism from key trading partners. The European Union and Australia have labeled the move as unjustified and are considering retaliatory measures. Legal and Political Context The increased tariffs come amid legal challenges to the administration's trade policies. A recent court ruling questioned the president's authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose certain tariffs, though the steel and aluminum tariffs remain in effect pending further legal review. Politically, the tariff escalation aligns with President Trump's broader agenda to revitalize American manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign imports, particularly from China. The administration has emphasized the importance of domestic production for national security and economic independence. In summary, the doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs marks a significant shift in U.S. trade policy, with far-reaching implications for domestic industries, international relations, and the broader economy. Steel stocks leap after Trump vows to double tariffs to 50%
Owner Opp to Opposition
I had an owner op, whom of which ran for me as a company driver into owner operator with 2 trucks, turn into my opposition recently. The guy back-solicited my customers and took two of them as he open up his own DOT. I have a champaign bottle with his name on it to pop upon his downfall. Anyone experience something like this?

We have carriers attempt to back solicit often. There is little that can be done. In those situations, you really just have to lean on your relationship with the customer.
