Topic: Congressman aims to stop speed limiter rule

What is the issue here?

One of the arguments is that it would harm the agricultural and livestock industries

Brecheen cited a 2005 study that found that interactions among vehicles traveling 10 mph below the posted speed limit were 227% higher than among vehicles moving at traffic speed. Such interactions lead to more crashes, said Todd Spencer, president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, which supports Brecheen’s bill.

Topic: Ryder’s Loyalty Incentive Program and Earnings from E2Open

This is an interesting incentive program, how does it work?

And it’s not based on how many dollars a customer spends with Ryder…

They also had their earnings release - with their Fleet Management Systems still bringing in the lion’s share of revenue, but more growth from other areas….

Topic: E2Open Earnings

E2Open had an interesting call where their earnings were not significantly down, but the outlook was.  Are they in trouble after reporting they lost $720 Million last fiscal year?

“In its forecast for fiscal 2024, which began March 1, e2Open forecast that subscription revenue measured by GAAP standards would be $545 million to $555 million, an increase of 3.2% from the full-year 2023 figure of $532.9 million. That percentage increase compares to the more than 58% figure for fiscal 2023 compared to 2022 and is well below even the 18.2% increase in subscription revenue posted for the fourth quarter.”
