Plus, find out why DHL is ditching its final mile electric van project, how Steve Madden and Crocs are dealing with coronavirus disruptions, if toys will be harder to find this spring, where meth and broccoli can be found together, are boomers more thankful for trucking jobs than millennials, and much more.
