Keeping You Ahead of the Curve in Trucking & Logistics (Week of March 17th, 2024)

Hey everyone,

The trucking and logistics industry is a constant whirlwind of news and developments. This week, we've seen everything from legal battles to autonomous vehicle updates. Let's dive into the key takeaways that could impact your business:

• California's AB5 Deals a Blow to Independent Contractors: A court decision upholds the controversial AB5 law, making it harder for companies to classify truck drivers as independent contractors. This could lead to driver shortages and higher costs for shippers in California.
• Flock Freight Announces Layoffs: The fast-growing freight brokerage faces economic headwinds and is restructuring its team. This highlights the ongoing volatility in the market.
• Autonomous Trucks Gain Momentum: No major breakthroughs, but the industry continues its slow and steady march towards self-driving trucks. Keep an eye on this space for potential disruptions in the coming years.

Speaking of disruptions, let's talk about how Fortus Group can help your business navigate this ever-changing landscape. One of our most popular solutions is the Roll-Tite flatbed trailer.

What is a Roll-Tite Flatbed Trailer?

Imagine a flatbed trailer with a retractable tarp system. That's the magic of a Roll-Tite. This innovative design offers several advantages:

• Weather Protection: The tarp shields your cargo from rain, snow, and road debris, ensuring it arrives safely and in pristine condition.
• Versatility: Roll-Tite trailers can handle a wide variety of cargo, from lumber and steel to palletized goods and machinery. The tarp system allows for quick and easy loading and unloading from various angles.
• Increased Efficiency: The tarp eliminates the need for cumbersome tarps and straps, saving you time and labor costs.
• Improved Aerodynamics: When closed, the tarp creates a more aerodynamic profile, reducing fuel consumption and your environmental footprint.
