HOW ARE LOGISTICS PROVIDERS MANAGING SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS?

“Supply-chain issues.” Whether you’re a carrier, shipper, 3PL, manufacturer, retailer or consumer, you’ve felt the ripple effect of ongoing supply-chain disruptions. In addition to shortages of products, parts and materials, the freight transportation industry has been facing severe workforce constraints during the economic recovery from the pandemic. On top of that, the logistics sector is becoming more complex as demand increases for e-commerce fulfillment and reverse logistics services. So, how are third-party logistics companies meeting consumer demand in the midst of these industry shortages? To get answers, host Seth Clevenger speaks with Neil Shelton, chief strategy officer at GXO, and Cathy Roberson, research manager at the Reverse Logistics Association. Tune in.
