In this episode, guest Drew McElroy, chairman and co-founder of Transfix, a digital freight matching system, discusses freight markets and the challenges of last-mile deliveries.

We are already entering the peak holiday shopping season, and it will be a year like no other, with omnichannel sales dominating in ways never before seen. How are retailers preparing their supply chains to handle the surge?

And with more online shopping, retailers expect an avalanche of returned merchandise. We look at some new, innovative solutions to help with the messy problem of handling returns.
