Aaron Bartholomew, Armor Freight Services For shippers, this is a reminder that transportation strategy extends well beyond rates. As providers continue to consolidate and expand capabilities, exibility and strong communication remain just as important as network size.
Snelling Staf ng Great insight here! We’re seeing similar observations across many of our warehousing and logistics clients. Diving deep into margin analysis is shining light on areas of potential improvement, like poor layout and the precise cost of every picking error.
