The Doolittle Raid, one of the great feats of 20th c aviation, occurred on today’s date in 1942. Highly recommend the book _Target Tokyo_ by James Scott.
America's enemies should never forget. I won't. Had the honor of spending a day with Henry Potter when he spoke to our beloved T-Bird squadron (34 Bomb Sq). Col Potter was the tall and very young lead Navigator on Doolittle's B-25, first off the Hornet. He told a hell of a story https://t.co/l3jkT1NevL
I think this is the wrong inference to make, fwiw. 3PLs see deeper troughs & higher peaks than the overall market because of their role in providing incremental capacity to the market. Overall, daily China to U.S. ocean container bookings are down 20% y/y
In the week since the tariffs hit, ocean freight bookings from China are down 50% across the industry. Flexport bookings from China down more like 35%, but sources at carriers and forwarders indicate 50% is the industry wide stat.
Truckload volumes outbound from LA are very quiet right now https://t.co/M6R4JPPZjI
