How's IBM in that business?

IBM has a few initiatives in transportation + blockchain (Maersk, also trucking in Brazil).

Anything else?

I have a vague recollection of IBM working with trucking companies to collect routing and shipper's source and destination information to optimize routing.

Possibly part of their "smart shipping containers" thing that has apparently evolved into the blockchain Maersk deal.
