BRAD JACOBS, CHAIRMAN and CEO of freight transportation and logistics services provider XPO Logistics, offered up a variety of opinions on current industry trends at the opening session of the SMC3 2021 Jumpstart conference, which was held virtually. Addressing the economy, Jacobs observed that it has had a strong comeback since the depths of 2020. "It turned out to be a real V-shaped recovery, and by almost every measure we're back to where we were pre-COVID-19, which is remarkable and shows the underlying strength of the economy," he said. And while the underlying trend is positive, Jacobs noted that there are still many challenges that could slow it down or even derail it: "We will get out of COVID, for sure, but does it happen right away or take until the end of the year? That's a big question mark for me." |
