Tariffs were originally supposed to start in February, but the leaders of Mexico and Canada were able to negotiate a 30-day pause as they strengthened their border presence to crack down on fentanyl coming into the U.S.

Check Call: Business deals through the eyes of a hostage negotiator

Check Call: Broker transparency rule gets second comment period

(GIF: GIPHY)

In a rare move for any rule in the rulemaking process, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has reopened the comment period on its proposed broker transparency rule.

When it comes to the rulemaking process, comment periods are typically 30-60 days and are rarely reopened – generally only if there was a technical error with the initial proposed documents that prevented comments from being submitted correctly or if there is new information or a public outcry regarding the...
