Many long-haul truckers in China have a tight budget and live frugally on the road, sleeping and cooking in their vehicles. The pain at the pump is forcing some drivers to rethink their lives.

"Transportation costs are a big factor there. Every company that is involved and has logistics and they have to pay for gas, either they have to absorb this cost, or they will charge the third party that will provide this service. I'm not surprised this is happening, because at some point, Amazon will say we cannot absorb all this cost."

Aerial views showed multiple containers stacked and on the verge of dangerously teetering into the water, with many in uneven and awkward positions.

After Trump ended the de minimis exemption last year, purchasing an item straight from an international vendor, regardless of the item's value, meant incurring International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs. Now, thanks to a ruling by the Supreme Court that overturned Trump's IEEPA tariffs, and a ruling by the Court of International Trade ruled that all tariffs paid under IEEPA must be returned, buyers may be able to collect a refund.

Iran has begun extracting transit fees from commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, with payments reportedly reaching as high as $2 million per voyage, creating an informal toll system.

Have you ever watched a mile-long freight train rumble by and wondered how one locomotive can pull more than a hundred fully loaded cars? The locomotive weighs maybe 150 metric tons, and each car is about 100 metric tons, which means it's hauling 10,000 tons. I mean, if you weigh 170 pounds, this would be like pulling three SUVs totaling 12,000 pounds.

Diesel remains the backbone for moving massive loads across long distances. It provides the torque needed for heavy hauling that other fuel types just cannot match. Investment in diesel tech leads to better fuel systems and longer lifespans for newer models.

Counting Ships is a photography series by Pierfrancesco Celada that examines proximity, movement, and scale within a maritime landscape. The project captures a busy ferry route connecting an island to one of the most densely populated regions nearby. The crossing takes approximately 25 minutes and passes through one of the world's most active maritime trade corridors, where more than two hundred cargo ships transit daily.

It has been almost three years since the Port of San Francisco awarded TMG Partners the redevelopment rights for San Francisco's Pier 38, with TMG winning over the Port with a pitch that emphasized the speed with which they planned to act and an "immediate revitalization" of the pier with a mix of public, office and maritime uses. But Pier 38, which has been shuttered since 2011, remains red tagged and inactive.

Maritime traffic through the strait, the narrow channel linking the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman, has effectively been closed since strikes on Iran began. Some vessels have been diverted or delayed and ports and shipping companies are dealing with heightened security concerns and uncertainty.

Sulayem's lengthy tenure at the helm of the logistics giant came to an end in a firestorm of controversy over his links with the disgraced financier, after recently declassified documents showed the pair had exchanged messages for years before and after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor for prostitution. The friendly exchanges between the two include discussions about deals and also mention bin Sulayem visiting Epstein's private island while sharing contacts in business and politics.

Most storage furniture sits where you put it, fixed shelves and cabinets that do their job but rarely respond to how space changes during a day. Trolleys help with mobility, but they often feel generic, more utility than character. Harbor 051 is a storage trolley that borrows its logic from a place built entirely around movement and stacking, Busan Port, where containers shift and cranes swing in a constant choreography.

Designed specifically for loads with length or irregular shape, cantilever systems are widely used across manufacturing, builders' merchants, and industrial storage environments. What is cantilever racking? Cantilever racking consists of vertical columns with horizontal arms extending outwards to support loads. Unlike pallet racking, there are no front uprights or obstructions, which makes loading and unloading long items safer and more efficient. This open design allows materials to be handled by forklift, side loader, or manually, depending on the application.

The railroad industry is a logistics artery, but the companies supplying the equipment that moves freight are where the real money gets made. Locomotives, railcars, tank cars, and digital rail systems are the picks and shovels of modern logistics. These companies capture recurring revenue from manufacturing, leasing, and maintenance contracts, benefiting from regulatory replacement cycles, nearshoring tailwinds, and the simple reality that freight must move.
