In this episode of the FreightWaves Morning Minute, we break down PACCAR’s strategic push into zero-emission vehicles with new medium-duty models from Peterbilt and Kenworth. The parent company is doubling down on scalability by building out the necessary charging infrastructure to support these electric fleets.
Next, we discuss a historic labor victory as Teamsters locals in Northern California and Nevada secure a groundbreaking regional deal with Sysco. This four-year contract establishes a new industry standard with a 34% wage increase and strong protections against automation.
Finally, we look at the monumental filing by Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern to create the nation's first freight-only transcontinental railroad. This move initiates a critical review period that serves as the first real test of the Surface Transportation Board’s tougher consolidation rules.
