163,318 truckers risk losing their CDLs when the FMCSA's new Clearinghouse rule takes effect in November. Here's what it means and how it impacts the industry.
The Port of Rotterdam was the scene of a record drug bust as Dutch customs seized eight tons of cocaine from a Maersk containership.
Estimated Worth: €600m ($653m).
Shipment Origin: Ecuador, routed via Panama.
Disguise: Hidden among 12 pallets of bananas.
To put it into perspective, this bust is nearly twice the size of the 4.6 tons found in 2005. Still, globally, it trails behind a 20-tonne cocaine seizure at Philadelphia's port in 2019.
The port of Rotterdam is one of the largest drug hubs in the world, consumes huge amounts of fossil energy and is therefore not a good example of green energy.
BUT:
The will to open up to new technologies is the right way into the future.
