Jury Finds 3PL Company Liable in CrashAn Illinois jury verdict is a shocker to freight brokers and third-party logistics (3PL) companies, reports Logistics Management magazine. The case involves a truck accident in 2004 that killed two and injured one. The truck driver was an independent contractor for a trucking company that was in turn contracting for C. H. Robinson Worldwide, the largest U.S. trucking broker. But the jury rejected the argument of an arm's length relationship between the driver and the broker, found CHR "vicariously liable" and awarded $23.8 million to the plaintiffs. CHR says it will appeal. The concern in the 3PL business: If the verdict sets a precedent, insurance premiums could rise. --Jeff B. Copeland, Content Product Manager

Congress to Consider 'Card Check' LegislationThe Employee Free Choice Act, which would make it easier for employees to join unions, has been introduced in both houses of Congress. The bill would amend the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, allowing workers to form a union if a majority of employees of them sign a card expressing their desire to do so, and would prohibit employers from requiring a secret ballot election. Also included in the measure, known as "Card Check," are increases to penalties faced by employers who engage in activities deemed to be anti-union. Similar legislation has been proposed in the past, but failed. The current Senate is expected to move forward on the legislation after the Easter recess in April. -- Jason Agard, Sr. Associate Editor

Wondering Where your Shipment is Right Now? There's an App for ThatIf they weren't headed to the Apple Store already, the clients of transportation management and logistics services company D.W. Morgan now have one more reason to jump on the iPhone bandwagon.

The app leverages the iPhone's built-in GPS capabilities to provide the exact location of deliveries overlaid on maps from Google Earth. And the reach of the device really is global.
