Lowe’s has been changing the way it deploys trucks to deliver goods and has garnered a spot on FreightWaves’ annual list honoring shippers.
Lowe’s “worked more closely than ever to support [its] carrier partners and suppliers” this year while navigating increased consumer demands during the pandemic, Kelvin Dedner, vice president of supply chain transportation at Lowe’s, said.
Customer backlash against FedEx Freight’s decision to terminate trucking service has forced the carrier to reconsider.
Several of the nation’s largest retailers say inventory positions are improving. However, retail sales continue to outpace efforts to stock up, suggesting trucking demand could stay elevated well into 2021.
