• Predictive Fleet Safety: Protecting Drivers and the Bottom Line

  03-09-2026 12:03 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  
  Every fleet manager would agree that the primary goal of their fleet safety strategy is the prevention of motor vehicle crashes to protect drivers and the public from injury or death. But increasingly, fleet safety is tied directly to a company’s bottom-line health through compliance, legal, and insurance considerations.
  Transportation companies that neglect to champion a proactive fleet safety culture not only put their drivers and vehicles at risk, but they leave themselves open to profi

• The AI Trade Just Ran Into Its Unit-Economics Problem

  09-09-2026 12:44 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  
  The artificial intelligence debate is changing. For several years, the central question was whether AI worked, and then whether the technology could scale. Increasingly, the more difficult question is who actually captures the value. That distinction matters because AI adoption can accelerate, token consumption can soar and the economics of individual participants can still deteriorate.
  This is the point at which a technology story becomes an operating-model story. For logistics companies decidi

• Requirements Before Technology: Define the Problem Before Buying the Solution

  09-09-2026 12:00 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  
  The fastest way to buy the wrong logistics technology is to begin with the technology. Yet that is still how too many programs start: a new TMS, WMS, control tower, yard platform, AI initiative, or automation project. The solution enters the room before the operating requirement has been defined.
  The problem is not that any of these technologies are bad ideas. The problem is that the solution has entered the conversation before the requirement has been defined. Systems engineering reverses that

• NVIDIA Is Buying the Distribution Layer of AI

  08-09-2026 21:44 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  
  NVIDIA’s agreement to acquire Hugging Face for approximately $12.9 billion looks, at first, like another large transaction in an AI market already full of large numbers. Look more closely, however, and this is considerably more interesting than a semiconductor company buying a software company.
  NVIDIA already dominates one of the most important layers of artificial intelligence: accelerated computing. Hugging Face occupies a different position. It has become one of the principal places whe

• The End of the Transportation-Warehouse Divide

  07-09-2026 12:00 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  
  A truck arriving early sounds like a transportation success. It may be the opposite if the receiving dock is occupied, the yard is full, the required labor is not scheduled, or the inventory cannot be processed when it arrives. The same problem works in reverse. A warehouse can hit its internal productivity targets and release an outbound wave exactly on schedule, only to discover that trailers, drivers, or carrier capacity are not aligned with the plan. That dependency is exactly why Stop Manag

• Stop Managing Logistics as a Collection of Functions

  03-09-2026 12:00 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  
  Calling logistics a network is accurate, but it is not sufficient. A network describes connections; it does not explain how independently managed transportation, warehousing, fulfillment, yard and dock operations, last-mile delivery, technology, partners, and people combine to produce one customer outcome. The more useful model is a system of systems.
  The practical consequence is important. You cannot understand logistics performance by looking at any one component in isolation.

  Uber’s decision to reduce its workforce by about 10% will inevitably be discussed as another large technology-company layoff. For logistics executives, however, the more important question is not whether AI eliminated these jobs. It is whether AI is beginning to eliminate some of the organizational structures that made many of those jobs necessary.Reuters reported that approximately 3,300 positions will be affected in Uber’s largest workforce reduction since the pandemic.
