For the first look at the C.H. Robinson earnings, please go to this article.

A disconnect: EBITDA at Triumph Payments is all-time high, but Triumph Financial’s stock plummets on earnings

Why Susquehanna is getting bullish on trucking

The truckload market enters 2025 showing signs of stabilization after nearly three years of freight recession. While earnings remain depressed across the sector, Susquehanna analyst Bascome Majors sees reasons for optimism that the industry is poised for recovery over the next two years.

Despite win on appeal, TQL wants Supreme Court to review broker liability issue

In an unusual twist, giant brokerage TQL is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review its lower court victories on the question of broker liability.

In a brief filed with the Supreme Court last week, TQL sided with its adversary Katia Gauthier in seeking review of the lower court cases. Her husband, Peter, was killed in May 2020 in a collision with a truck hired by TQL.

Gauthier’s subsequent lawsuit against the carrier and TQL resulted in a pair of decisions – in the U.S. District Court for the...
