NYC Targets Amazon DSPs, Jaxport's New China Link, & WEX Proxy Battle | The Morning Minute

In this episode, we explore how a proposed city council bill in New York could disrupt Amazon's entire last-mile delivery network. The legislation effectively targets the use of subcontractors, which could force independent delivery service providers to shut down or convert their independent contractors into full employees. Next, we head out on the water, where CMA CGM and its Ocean Alliance partners have launched a new direct container service from Asia to the Port of Jacksonville. This strategic expansion provides shippers with a vital alternative to congested West Coast ports and enhances supply chain diversification for the Southeast. Finally, we unpack the high-stakes boardroom drama at the fleet payments giant WEX, which is currently facing a significant proxy battle from an institutional shareholder. The outcome of this struggle could trigger substantial changes in leadership and impact how operational expenses are handled across the broader trucking industry.
