Overhaul has released its data for railroad theft in 2024, and it’s not good at all. Railroad cargo theft has soared, with over 65,000 incidents in 2024—a 40% increase from the previous year—costing the industry over $100 million, according to the in-transit supply chain risk management company. Criminals target trains, particularly BNSF Railway routes in California and Arizona, using tactics like cutting air hoses or exploiting remote stops. Source: Overhaul.

Walmart de México (Walmex) is investing $6 billion this year to expand stores and logistics hubs, creating 5,500 jobs despite economic concerns. CEO Ignacio Caride announced the move at President Claudia Sheinbaum’s press conference, highlighting that 83% of Walmex’s products are locally made, thus limiting the impact of any tariffs on imported goods from the U.S. The expansion includes two AI-powered distribution centers and increased capital expenditures.

U.S. Rep. Zach Nunn has introduced bipartisan legislation offering tax credits to truck drivers to address industry "shortages," even posting about it on his X profile. The bill proposes up to $7,500 for veteran drivers and $10,000 for apprentices or newcomers. Nunn, alongside Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan, argues that the initiative will strengthen supply chains and lower costs. However, truckers remain skeptical, accusing Nunn of echoing the American Trucking Associations (ATA).
