"Deploying unmanned ships on the 10-day sea journey from Australia’s northern coast to China would be a logical extension of technology"

“Autonomous ships will change the way transport systems are designed and operated,” Ornulf Jan Rodseth, a Trondheim, Norway-based senior scientist at Sintef, Scandinavia’s biggest science and technology researcher, said in an e-mail. If freight users, including BHP, are able to adopt the technology, “you might see that they build a new fleet of special purpose ships that puts the traditional ships and ship operators out of business,” he said.

Trump DOL relieves pressure surrounding Obama-era changes to owner-operator model

http://www.ccjdigital.com/trump-dol...sletter-big-headline-daily-position-top-story

"The July 2015 memo issued by David Weil, head of the Labor Department’s wage and hour division under President Obama, in effect instructed businesses and state labor agencies to view owner-operators as employees. “In an analysis, that memo functionally said anyone economically dependent on a singular entity and who is exclusive to that entity is an employee,” Feary said."

"The Labor Department’s action does not automatically overturn any court rulings that have sided against independent contractor status for owner-operator truckers, but it could play a large role in future cases."

UPS seeks exemption from certain ELD mandate provisions

http://www.ccjdigital.com/ups-seeks...erm=newsletter-big-headline-daily-position-1#

The carrier is asking FMCSA to allow it to (1) use an alternative phase-in method for automatic on-board recording devices (AOBRDs) (2) for an exemption from the requirement that an ELD automatically records certain data elements upon a duty status change when a driver is not in the truck (3) to allow ELDs to be configured to a special driving mode for yard moves and (4) to allow vehicle movements of less than a mile on UPS property by non-driver UPS employees to be annotated in the ELD as “on property – other.”

*Good read. Valid point raised, I think.
