From today’s IP release for July: “Total industrial production rose 3.0 percent in July after increasing 5.7 percent in June; even so, the index in July was 8.4 percent below its pre-pandemic February level.” Automotive, once more, led the way. That won’t happen in August.

Avery Vise of @FTRintel: Drug and alcohol clearinghouse coming to the U.S. in Jan 2020 will close loophole in which drivers refuse drug test at one fleet and then apply for job with another. Could have a “bigger effect” if carriers have kept this information to themselves.

Eric Starks of @FTRintel: #AutonomousTrucks present challenges. What happens if connectivity lost, right data is lacking? “How much duplicate information do we have to have?”
