Oct. 1, 2021 | Today's news and insights for transport leaders Note from the editor Welcome to October, the start of Q4 (if you can believe it). The end of the year seems like a time when the world starts to slow down for the holidays — of course, not for the supply chain.
Freight comes into focus as consumers pressure logistics networks during peak season, testing shippers and carriers. On Transport Dive, we're looking at this busy time of year through the lens of carriers and trucking professionals. Our sister publication, Supply Chain Dive, recently started offering a once-weekly newsletter (every Wednesday) about the shipper side of logistics: sea, air, rail, and of course, road.
Behind the scenes, Transport Dive and Supply Chain Dive work closely to make sure we get readers the information they need to make decisions. Today's newsletter highlights the intersection of shippers and truckers.
If you know anyone who works in logistics on the shipper side of the business, please invite them to sign up for Logistics Weekly. You can send them this link: https://supplychaindive.com/signup/logistics/?signup_referred_by=5f93078d7aa51972095c9316.
Take care,
