In this episode, guest Aaron Hageman, CEO of Delivery Drivers Inc. (DDI), discusses trends in last-mile logistics. The supply chain industry calls that final delivery to a person's home or business "the last mile" of the shipment chain. It is usually the most expensive part of logistics, as each package must be handled separately, in contrast to the aggregate handling of previous steps. Hageman discusses how drivers are found to make such deliveries and what is being done by shippers to assure timely delivery of our orders.
The Covid-19 pandemic is driving a huge surge in imported products, and that is affecting the real estate markets for warehouses in seaport areas. It is also creating huge demand for certain imported products.
This past Thursday was Earth Day, a day the world reflects on our environment and what we can do to be more friendly to the planet we all live on. Many logistics and supply chain companies took time this week to celebrate their own green initiatives and to commit to new sustainable practices.
