Ask any supply chain pro, and most will tell you that it's hard to get good, clear information about complex legal issues in transportation and logistics.

That need led the Transportation and Logistics Council (TLC) to launch its "Transportation & Logistics—Q&A in Plain English" series of books some years back. The books are based on actual questions submitted to the council's "Q&A" forum and published in the TLC's monthly TransDigest publication. The answers, provided by transportation attorneys George Carl Pezold and Raymond A. Selvaggio, are clear, concise, and to the point.

So when the TLC realized that its popular texts on the subject were about to go out of print, the organization seized the opportunity to combine three volumes onto a single CD and reissue them.

Titled "Transportation & Logistics—Q&A in Plain English—Books 7, 8 & 9," the compilation includes the seventh, eighth, and ninth books in the series (337 pages' worth of printed material). The volumes were originally published between 2009 and 2013.

The series is intended for use as either a reference for experienced logistics professionals or a teaching aid for students and newcomers. To order the CD, click here.

Hurricane Milton takes aim at weary Florida

The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico are brewing up another massive storm this week that is on track to smash into the western coast of Florida by Wednesday morning, bringing a consecutive round of storm surge and damaging winds to the storm-weary state.

Before reaching the U.S., Hurricane Milton will rake the northern coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula with dangerous weather. But hurricane watches are already in effect for parts of Florida, which could see heavy rainfall, flash and urban flooding, and moderate to major river floods, according to forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Demand for warehouse and industrial space slumped again in Q3

Demand for warehouse and industrial space continued to slump in the third quarter as the overall national industrial vacancy rate edged higher, climbing 30 basis points (bps) to 6.4%, according to the latest research by Cushman & Wakefield.
