Virtual Summit 2018 - Transportation Management Roundup: Navigating the new realities
Our latest Virtual Summit tackles the most serious transportation issues facing shippers and explains what companies can do to operate smarter and more efficiently in the tightest freight environment in more than a generation.
The national economy is booming, e-commerce sales are going through the roof, and shippers across all industries are busier than ever. While all positive of course, these factors have converged to create a challenging transportation, fulfillment and labor environment for logistics and supply chain organizations. Today, nearly all U.S. shippers are grappling with rising freight bills, a dearth of skilled labor, driver shortages, new federal regulations and capacity crunches.
To help shippers tackle these pressing issues, Logistics Management and Supply Chain Management Review assembled an expert line-up of analysts and thought leaders for this year’s Virtual Summit.
