CBP finds $1.17M in cocaine after inspecting bell pepper truck at Texas border

A commercial truck hauling bell peppers crossed into Laredo, Texas, with something else hidden inside the tractor. A U. S. Customs and Border Protection officer selected the Kenworth for further inspection at the World Trade Bridge. A canine team and scanning equipment followed that initial referral.

Who Has the Leverage Right Now? SONAR’s Pricing Power Index Has the Answer

Every week, SONAR’s Research team distills the freight market down to a single number: the Pricing Power Index (PPI). It’s a quick answer to the question that shapes procurement strategy, bid timing, and carrier negotiations alike — is pricing power sitting with carriers, or with shippers, right now? The index isn’t a gut-check or a narrative built after the fact. It’s a direct-weighted, data-driven composite of eight SONAR metrics — tender rejections, accepted volume, rail volume, ocean TEU bookings, spot rates, van contract rates, the spot/contract spread, and intermodal contract rates — each ranked against five years of its own weekly history and combined into a single 0–100 score. A reading of 50 marks a historically balanced market.

Canadian airline cancels flight after child refuses to wear seatbelt

Flight from Victoria to Toronto forced to return to terminal after repeated attempts to secure child in seat failed A Canadian airline cancelled a flight from Victoria to Toronto after a child refused to wear a seatbelt. The child was standing in their chair as the 6 August Porter Airlines flight taxied towards the runway, the airline said. Repeated attempts by an accompanying parent and crew to secure the child in their seat failed, so the crew elected to return to the terminal and have the two passengers disembark as “the aircraft could not take off in this unsafe condition”, it added.
