For the past two years, capacity shortages have rocked the nation as consumer demand for goods has skyrocketed. The headaches of moving freight are multiplied when dealing with perishables under time-sensitive demands — especially produce. Now, a further challenge is on the horizon, as Canada is imposing a controversial vaccine mandate on truckers who make cross-border shipments. To help explain strategies for overcoming these obstacles, we've brought on Bill Loupée, COO of Ben B. Schwartz & Sons, a wholesale produce distributor based in Detroit, Michigan. Bill and his team have implemented creative solutions to sourcing capacity; as a former freight broker, Bill understands both sides of the market. Bill is joined by FreightWaves Research Analyst Michael Rudolph.Follow FreightWaves on Apple PodcastsFollow FreightWaves on SpotifyMore FreightWaves PodcastsJoin Global Supply Chain Week Learn more about your ad choices.
