| 摘要： | WHILE IT FEELS LIKE OLD NEWS BY NOW, it Still never surprises me to see just how interwoven logistics, supply chain and freight transportation have become in all parts of our lives-specifically as consumers. Make no mistake, the pandemic changed just about everything we address and evaluate when it comes to how most business processes are handled. That goes from an initial rush on essential products and food staples, and now the many items that we're buying at a furious pace during this current home improvement boom. Of course, logistics, supply chain, and freight transportation were front and center for all of this and clearly continue to be. When we take a moment and look back, there have been more than a few signature moments that had major logistics implications, whether it was shortages or delivery delays of key consumer staples, the Suez Canal incident, the semiconductor shortage, port congestion, the heightened supply and demand imbalance in the truckload market, and, of course, rising freight rates. And while this past year presented more than a few challenges, we're now seeing a dramatic turnaround in key metrics for things such as freight volumes that were decimated by the pandemic. As an example, according to the Association of American Railroads, total U.S. rail intermodal volumes from January through May posted its highest numbers ever for that period. |
