Logistics Matters with DC VELOCITY

In this episode, our guest is Doug Schrier, senior vice president of strategy at Transflo. While we know that automated trucks are coming someday, many may not be aware of the behind-the-scenes automation available today to keep the trucking industry moving forward. Artificial intelligence and machine learning help companies automate many of the industry's non-driving tasks.
Consumers are all too aware of the shortages and supply chain problems we have all experienced and many are feeling like things will never get back to normal. A new report shows how consumers are feeling about supply chain disruptions. Many shoppers are leaving brands that they feel are not doing a good job of being reliable on product deliveries.
Returns are messy for everyone. With the increases in online shopping, returns are becoming even messier. Some companies are doing better than others at handling returns and even rewarding their best shoppers. Their customers are noticing.
