Crazy times call for…supply chain resiliency.
It’s an unprecedented time for shippers. Supply chains that were so routine and reliable no longer make sense. Factories in China and Vietnam still face unexpected shutdowns. Retailers can’t keep store shelves stocked. Suppliers can’t meet manufacturers’ deadlines. Cargo ships are backed up, with the Pacific Ocean starting to resemble a rush hour highway. Not enough trucks to handle an increased volume of shipments. A severe truck driver shortage that is making a bad situation even worse. And an ongoing need to satisfy customer expectations.
