In an era where freight moves at the speed of a click, the cracks in our supply chain have never been easier for criminals to exploit. Digital load boards and remote onboarding have revolutionized efficiency, but they’ve also opened the door to sophisticated actors specializing in identity theft, double brokering, and fictitious pickups. Freight fraud is no longer just a "cost of doing business." It is a material threat to financial stability, public safety, and the very trust that keeps the wheels turning. Enter the Freight Fraud Summit —a tactical, accountability-focused event designed to do more than just talk about the problem. It’s here to solve it. Criminal tactics are currently evolving faster than industry controls. As margins tighten and market volatility increases, organized fraud schemes have found a foothold in the fragmented space between shippers, brokers, and carriers. A single incidents can lead to millions in losses from stolen cargo, unpaid carriers, and pro...

As the Southeastern United States continues its trajectory as a global economic powerhouse, the demand for smarter, faster, and more sustainable supply chain solutions has never been higher. At the heart of this growth sits Inland Port Greer . Opened in 2013 and recently supercharged by a $55 million expansion completed in 2025 , this intermodal hub is no longer just a "support" facility, it is a critical engine driving the region’s industrial boom. Inland Port Greer’s secret sauce is its dual-threat location and infrastructure. It extends the reach of the Port of Charleston 212 miles into the Upstate, providing shippers with a direct, overnight rail link via Norfolk Southern. But the real magic happens once the cargo hits the pavement.

Moving a drayage container during a snowstorm is a high-stakes logistical puzzle. Because drayage involves short-haul trips typically between a port or rail ramp and a nearby warehouse and local road conditions and terminal operations dictate the entire timeline. As of January 26th 2026 , several major winter systems are impacting global and U.S. logistics hubs (notably Northern Europe and the Eastern U.S.), leading to specific protocols for container handling. 1. Terminal Operations: The "First Mile" Freeze When a storm hits, the bottleneck often begins before the truck even reaches the gate. Reduced Productivity: Ports like Hamburg and Rotterdam, and U.S. hubs like Norfolk Southern facilities, often face reduced crane speeds or complete halts in lifting if winds exceed safety thresholds or visibility drops. Snow Removal Requirements: Many terminals now strictly require that all snow and ice be removed from the top of the container before it can be returned or gated in. T...
