Our Week 2 Top Logistics Stories
Here are three stories logistics companies should be updating their customers and prospects on this week.
Shippers may not be aware of what’s occurring or its importance, so offering your assistance and insights will help you build a stronger relationship with them.
First up is that the 2025 small parcel shipping General Rate Increases by FedEx and UPS are now in effect. All shippers should be made aware of the increases and coached on things they can do to mitigate the impact of the higher rates.
An issue that will impact the supply chain of all types of companies is the potential restart of the US port strike on January 15. Many shippers will need assistance working through the problems another stoppage will cause and look for information and help from their logistics partners.
In ocean freight, there are big shifts happening with the ocean alliances. This means routes, schedules, and costs will be changing for a lot of shippers. It is a good time to discuss how your customers' supply chains will be impacted.
Of course, these stories are just a small part of what’s going on in the supply chain space right now. Updating your clients on how this and other information is relevant to their business is a way to provide more value and strengthen your relationships.
