We all know the old adage, “you can’t reinvent the wheel.” In the automotive industry, innovation in electric and autonomous vehicle technology is changing that narrative pretty quickly. 3D printing, connected machinery, airless tires, you name it; the wheel is being reinvented, and the manufacturing tools that ensure quality and safe new technology have to adapt alongside it. On today’s Transportation podcast, we were joined by Paul Gatley, VP of Engineering for Bartell Machinery Systems.

“If the tire’s actually rolling more in a shorter period of time, that tire pressure means a big deal,” Gatley said. Gatley breaks down the exciting technology that’s reshaping the wheel and its function for the future of transportation, and how Bartell is staying ahead of the curve with their machinery to ensure efficiency and reliability.

Supply chain teams with AI-ready staff report 71% AI project success, others 28%

Supply chain teams with AI-ready staff report 71% AI project success, others 28%

Only 17% of supply chain organizations in a new ASCM and DSCI survey call their workforce AI-ready. Those teams report 71% AI project success; the rest report 28%. Readiness and AI success are linked but causal direction is unclear.

  • 01Supply chain teams that call their workforce AI-ready report a 71% AI project success rate; everyone else reports 28%, and about 64% of the unprepared group is still piloting or planning.
  • 02Abe Eshkenazi suggests using response time as the measure for how fast a team spots a disruption, weighs options, and acts. Faster decisions are the payoff respondents expect most, at 46%.

U.S. airlines are choosing higher fares over fuller planes as fuel costs bite

U.S. airlines are choosing higher fares over fuller planes as fuel costs bite

U.S. airlines increased passenger revenue 18% in Q3 while flying roughly the same number of people by raising fares 23%, as Gulf Coast jet fuel rose to $4.63 a gallon by Oct. 20. Despite softer traffic, carriers are prioritizing margin protection and cutting 2026 earnings forecasts.

  • 01U.S. airfares rose 23% year over year through September while overall consumer prices rose 3.6%, with holiday fares up 22-39%.

Warehouse space shrank in September at one of the fastest rates in LMI history

Warehouse space shrank in September at one of the fastest rates in LMI history

In September's Logistics Managers' Index, warehouse capacity fell 14.2 points to 39.3 as inventory levels rose to 58.9. Goods are piling up at wholesalers while space and trucks get scarcer. October's handoff to retailers is the step to watch as freight and inventory costs climb.

  • 01More goods, less room to put them, fewer trucks to move them, and a higher price on every mile: inventory read 58.9 in September while warehouse capacity sat at 39.3 and transportation capacity at 34.4.
  • 02October is the month to watch, because that is when high wholesaler inventories typically move down to retailers, and September's capacity readings show shrinking room to absorb that transfer.
  • 03If warehouse capacity rebounds in the October index, the September drop was holiday staging; if it stays below 50 after the handoff, the tightness is lasting longer than the season.
