TIA joined with fellow members of the Small Business Legislative Council (SBLC) to comment on proposed updates to federal overtime regulations. The Trump Administration proposed a new rule in March, which would fully rescind the 2016 Obama Final Rule on this issue (currently under stay from a Federal Court and continued litigation), and increase the salary level tests for exempting certain employees from overtime pay.

TIA has made available a newly updated Co-Brokerage Agreement Between a Licensed Transportation Broker and an Intermodal Marketing Company. You must be logged into the TIA website to access this library. Contact a member of TIA staff at 703-299-5700 if you need assistance.

Social media marketing is an essential component of any digital marketing strategy. It might be hard to believe, but the logistics industry is no different. The best digital profiles are excellent indicators of 3PLs doing a healthy business. However, it’s not all fun and games. Social media marketing requires more than liking, sharing, and posting content you find fascinating and important.

The topic of automatic trucks appears at times like a gee-whizz fantasy. It could happen someday, but too far out for today's industry to worry about. In this webinar, TIA's transportation economist Noël Perry takes a closer look at this phenomenon and will speculate on how we will get from here to there. His conclusions, as usual, include some big surprises, in this case in two important ways: Highway automation is more about cars than trucks. That's one. And two: there are some powerful intermediate steps in this change that will be requiring your attention much sooner than you think. Tune in to find out! 

When: Wednesday, June 12, 2-3PM EST. Presented by: Noël Perry
