Supply chain bullwhip cracks back

On today’s episode Dooner and The Dude are talking to Daniel “Mr. Supply Chain” Stanton about how the supply chain bullwhip effect has impacted freight this year. Will inventory overflows be the grinch that stole carriers Christmas?

The second-largest cost for operating a truck is fuel (especially this year!) Chris Jones, EVP of industry and services at Descartes, shares how tech is helping to reduce this cost burden for carriers. 

Wars are won with logistics, so it is no surprise that this industry is a welcoming home to veterans. However, how can we better support our servicemen and women when they enter civilian life? Ivan Hernandez, owner at Vets2Trucking, shares how he is helping to get vets into the cab.

Plus, DAT and Convoy’s legal battle; outbound tender rejects fall below 6% for first time in 25 months; FMC considers congestion emergency order; sleeping CDL school instructors; and the true menace of bouncy castles.
