Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett announced his company will not bid for CSX or Norfolk Southern, opting instead for BNSF Railway to form closer alliances for growth synergies. This decision came after Union Pacific's $85 billion deal to acquire Norfolk Southern, despite Wall Street expectations for a competitive bid. The American Trucking Association (ATA) is facing a lawsuit from three former employees of its Transport Topics publication, alleging wrongful termination based on age and race discrimination. The plaintiffs claim their 2024 firings were age-motivated and done under the pretext of restructuring, with one plaintiff, Lorrie Grant, also alleging racial discrimination. Highway has launched its Trusted Freight Exchange (TFX), powered by Triumph, aiming to provide brokers and carriers a more secure alternative to traditional load boards and combat freight fraud. The TFX platform incorporates identity proofing to block anonymous traffic, broker-specific compliance rules, and credit assurance from Triumph, allowing carriers to confirm payment means before booking loads.
