Episode description

As the holiday season quickly approaches and uncertainty in the labor market continues, retailers and shippers will benefit from investing in supply chain efficiency today - not tomorrow.

With port congestion and capacity shortages only adding to the stress, carriers are beginning to plan ahead in order to stay abreast of demand. But what does this mean for shippers?

In our latest episode, Donald Davis and Bryan Most begin to unpack some of the reasons why the next Ocean Contracting Cycle might be sooner than we think…

In this episode, you'll learn about: 
 
✔️ The ongoing challenges of capacity and what that could mean for the market.
 
 ✔️ Why the spot market could continue to remain high and how to avoid getting caught up in bidding wars.
 
 ✔️ The importance in becoming a “Shipper of Choice” as we head into 2022 and beyond.
 
 And plenty more!
