October 21, 2021

Major shipping carriers from across the globe are still scrambling to recover from the spiked demand of COVID19.

And now with labor and supply-chain bottlenecks, the situation has digressed.

The critical nature of shipping perishables has left many asking if there are any alternatives to the UPS/FedEx duopoly.

This is why today, Blaine and I want to introduce you to the world of regional carriers.

In this episode, we'll discuss how regional couriers stack-up to against the national alternatives in the following areas:

  • On-time deliverability
  • Transit-times
  • Flexibility
  • Pricing

The ultimate reason we decided to discuss this topic is because the consumers' expectation for delivery is NOT going away, regardless of the supply-chain challenges we're in.

Now is the time to roll up your sleeves and get creative in order to provide a delivery-service you can be confident in.
