The Morning Mile — Wednesday, Oct. 21
NC-12 closes to Hatteras and stays shut, Heartland swings back to a profit, Nebraska gives fuel haulers relief, Mexican freight shifts to transloading, and ATA tonnage edges up.
Summarized from CDLWire.
Good morning, drivers. Here is what you need to know to start Wednesday, October 21.
NC-12 closed to Hatteras: Ocean overwash closed the island's only road from the Marc Basnight Bridge to Rodanthe on Monday evening; it was still closed Wednesday morning, with flood warnings extended through 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Heartland back in the black: A $1 million third-quarter profit — its first since 2023 not driven by asset-sale gains — on a 97.6% adjusted operating ratio, as capacity reductions lift pricing.
Nebraska fuel relief: Fuel haulers get hours relief and up to 10% over weight limits on non-interstate Nebraska highways through Nov. 18; carry a copy of the proclamation.
Mexican freight re-routes: With about 25,000 B-1 drivers having lost their visas, shippers are splitting trips at the border and transloading — opening the U.S. leg to carriers without Mexican partners.
Tonnage edges up: ATA's index rose 0.8% in September to 114, flat against a year ago, with the third quarter still negative.
