Flexport lets AI agents book freight – who signed the contract?

In a nutshell: Flexport’s new MCP server lets shippers’ own AI agents book freight at negotiated rates without anyone logging in. US contract law, and Flexport’s freshly revised platform terms, put the bill for a wrong booking on whoever plugged the agent in.

Waabi takes its autonomous truck pitch beyond truckload

Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Waabi announced Monday they are hauling freight for Warp, the first customer operation in the companies’ partnership. Volvo VNL Autonomous trucks running the Waabi Driver are moving Warp freight directly to third-party facilities on the Dallas-Houston corridor, with an observer in the driver’s seat. Warp runs less-than-truckload and full-truckload freight through a single network and lists Walmart, DoorDash, and Gopuff among its customers. CEO Daniel Sokolovsky founded AxleHire before Warp emerged from stealth in 2022 . “Warp is a fantastic example where we can demonstrate the value of driving next-level efficiency for LTL consolidation, and remind people that hours-of-service benefits do not necessarily need to translate into a coast-to-coast, team-driving unlock,” said Lior Ron, COO of Waabi, in an interview with FreightWaves.

Australia faces summer of extreme weather, Anthony Albanese warns at pre-Cop

Prime minister tells delegates in Tuvalu and Fiji that ‘super El Niño’ brewing in the Pacific shows climate change is ‘here right now’ Anthony Albanese has warned Australia faces a hazardous summer, likely including floods, cyclones and extreme heat, due to the immediate threat of the climate change and a rising “super El Niño”. Speaker alongside national leaders at a climate summit in Fiji, the prime minister said the expected nasty summer and the demonstrated impact on Pacific island countries – including low-lying Tuvalu – showed the world could not afford to let the goal of limiting global heating to 1. 5C “just slip from our grasp”.
