A game of who blinks first is underway between the U.S. and its neighbors on either side of its border. After several weeks of uncertainty, the Trump administration finally implemented its much-touted tariffs on March 4. However, with the market, experts, and impacted countries reacting wildly with mixed opinions, President Donald Trump has again signed an order pausing many of the tariffs on Canada and Mexico for another month, with them now set to resume on April 2. Meanwhile, Canada opted for reciprocal tariffs when the U.S. tariffs landed, with them likely being paused as well until the U.S. tariffs resume.
What’s the idea behind expedited trucking? Is it just a “get out of jail free” card to rush order parts so a factory line doesn’t shut down? Or can it be used more strategically as a tool to help manage inventory smarter and run leaner in a just-in-time (JIT) production model?
How about making it more like the classic “less filling vs. tastes great” ads for Miller Lite? In other words, instead of an “either-or,” expedited trucking becomes a “both-and ” situation: a strategic tool that can also be leveraged when needed to quickly source critical goods.
How do you find a tech-savvy freight broker, and what are the elements to look for in a partner?
Increasingly, advanced technology is being applied to solve problems throughout the supply chain, from order fulfillment to shipping and delivery, logistics, and inventory management. Cutting-edge software that leans heavily on data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence is fast becoming the norm.
