Cross-Border Shipping: How 3PLs Are Evolving to Address the Current Shipping Climate

Cross-border business is continuing to increase, with 2018 seeing both historic levels and growing issues within the shipping industry, particularly with northbound business from Mexico. However, as manufacturing remains strong and business continues to grow, complexities are also heightened due to the current political climate. In addition, a significant imbalance exists, with seven trucks heading north from Mexico to the U.S. for every one truck moving south. And with news of major U.S. carriers pulling out of the marketplace, capacity issues are further compounded.

With an annual peak season on the horizon, how are 3PL companies working to help their clients compensate for these imbalances, optimize efficiencies, and maximize the bottom line?

To address these issues, FreightWaves and Redwood Logistics are partnering for an hourlong webinar on Thursday, February 28, at 2pm ET. The session will feature perspectives from Jordan Dewart, Managing Director for Redwood Mexico, who will share an overview of the current market and how Redwood has worked to navigate these changes. The audience will also be able to participate in a live Q&A following the presentation.
