Averitt expands logistics network with Jackson, Mississippi, facility

Less-than-truckload carrier Averitt said Thursday it has opened a 100,000-square-foot distribution and fulfillment facility in Jackson, Mississippi. The announcement follows other recent investments the carrier has made to its network. The new warehouse is near central Mississippi’s major freight lanes of I-20 and I-55. The Mississippi Department of Transportation announced Tuesday a $400 million project to improve the roadways and bridges along these corridors. The plan also calls for rail upgrades.

FMCSA, New York ready to rumble over non-domiciled CDL rules

The state of New York and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration are headed toward oral arguments at the end of next month in their legal battle over the federal cutoff of funds to the Empire State over a conflict regarding the state’s issuance of non-domiciled CDLs and Commercial Learning Permits (CLPs). With FMCSA having filed its brief to the Second Circuit U. S. Court of Appeals last week, both sides have spelled out their case in preparation for oral arguments on September 28 in lower Manhattan. The key issue, according to the state’s brief, is just how long a non-domiciled CDL issued by New York–or by extension, any state–can stay in effect if its duration does not line up with how long the non-domiciled CDL holder is legally permitted to be in the U.

Cargo Theft Changed: Fewer Loads, Higher-Dollar TargetsTrade & Logistics

Cargo Theft Changed: Fewer Loads, Higher-Dollar Targets

Cargo theft is down 26% in 2025—but the value of stolen freight has doubled. Danielle Spinelli of GenLogs breaks down why fraud rings are shifting to higher-value loads, how sold MCs and pattern changes get flagged, and what brokers and carriers should watch now. This FreightWaves Today segment covers the latest CargoNet data, real-world fraud signals, and how camera, sensor, and route-history data can spot suspicious carrier behavior before a load disappears. Cargo theft incidents dropped 26% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year, but the value of stolen loads has doubled, according to CargoNet figures cited by Danielle Spinelli, Director of Partnerships at Genlog. The divergence signals a strategic shift by criminal networks away from opportunistic grabs toward deliberate targeting of high-value freight — a trend that puts premium cargo shippers and the carriers hauling their freight at elevated risk.
