FOR A WHILE NOW, THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS THEMES present in freight transportation and logistics.Those themes include: inflation at 40-year highs; the ongoing labor shortage, with more open positions than available workers; declining volumes and pricing; gains in the services-based economy, which tend to also act as a drain on freight demand, in some cases; railroad service issues; and, not to be forgotten, clogged ports that affect operational throughput.One issue, which prior to the pandemic was high on many stakeholders' list, is tariffs, something that has since been ostensibly left to the wayside. But, now, there is a chance that could be changing, based on some comments recently made by President Biden. |
