Overcoming Global Uncertainty and Wide-Ranging Supply Chain Challenges
Q What does the future hold for domestic and global freight incoming to the United States? A Since no one has a crystal ball, the surest way to look forward is to track the nuances in the global market. The economic recovery post-pandemic is expected to continue pushing the global freight market. We are starting to see many economies rebound, resulting in a growing demand for goods and raw materials—driving increased freight volumes. The price of containers inbound from China continues to drive up and with peak shipping season upon us, there are no signs of that letting up. Combine that with some uncertainty surrounding shipments out of Europe heading through the Red Sea, and it leaves a lot of question marks on whether many will receive their expected material on time and on budget. This is driving many consumers of raw and finished commodities to search for alternative sources—enter Latin and South America. These channels heading both north and south are becoming more favorable than ever. The border between Mexico and the United States has seen its challenges, but infrastructure updates and private interest will provide an improvement in eciency of goods moving in and out. Here at The Logistix Company, we leverage our portfolio of partners both globally and domestically to help our customers deliver their products to their door on time and at the budget they expected.
Q What separates The Logistix Company from other 3PLs and freight forwarders? A The Logistix Company is extremely unique: We are able to handle a wide variety of transportation capabilities. From the largest ocean vessel down to an LTL parcel, and everything in between, if it is moving over the road, ocean, or air we have plenty of partners to assist along the way. We work very closely with many chemical distribution companies, and that experience has proven to be invaluable in providing solutions to even the most challenging supply chain opportunities. We work with a whole network or warehouses and transload sites to ensure our customers’ products are given the attention that is required, especially when dealing with food grade as well as hazardous material. The carriers we utilize are deeply vetted to ensure the appropriate insurance coverages and expertise meet our critical standards. The Logistix Company takes great pride that when you reach out you are met with a prompt response from a direct member of our team. In today’s climate where more and more companies are being turned into massive conglomerates, hearing a human on the line with knowledge of your situation means the world to our customers. With decades of experience in our back pocket there isn’t a logistical hurdle we can’t clear.
