Happy #FunFactFriday! #Tariffs aren't just policy changes—they can reshape global #supplychains. Stay up to date with tariff developments with OEC.

As the United States celebrated its 250th birthday this summer, one of the biggest events was the eight-state tour of Union Pacific’s 85-year-old classic “Big Boy” train. We visited one of the stops. See it for yourself on OEC TV: buff.ly/HCIm70g
Happy #FunFactFriday! When people think about #climate change and #supplychains, they often think about disruptions, but climate trends are also reshaping global demand. As temperatures continue to rise, demand for #cooling products is accelerating.

#Cargotheft incidents dropped 26% last quarter, but losses more than doubled to $304.6M as organized #crime shifts from smash-and-grab to #business email compromise: buff.ly/CqcitgR. Fewer thefts, bigger price tags. Ask OEC about cargo #insurance for your next shipment.

US #rail traffic is up 3% year over year, with #intermodal volumes climbing 4.1%: buff.ly/Mi43gi1. As inland #trucking costs creep back up, more #shippers are taking a second look at intermodal for their long-haul lanes.
Global #airfreight rates dipped 0.2% last week but are still running 16.9% above last year, with #Chicago inbound up 23.2% year over year: buff.ly/EFcWnr2. Capacity is tight and getting tighter as tech hardware crowds #cargo decks. OEC can help you find room.
Dry van spot rates have fallen for five straight weeks, down 22 cents/mile since early July, even with an early peak season pushing #import volumes through West Coast #ports: buff.ly/M74LAXY. Soft rates now don't guarantee soft rates in Q4 -- plan ahead with OEC.
