Our guest on this week's episode is Brian Feehan, president of the Industrial Truck Association, the trade group of the forklift industry. This coming Tuesday marks the 10th anniversary of National Forklift Safety Day, the forklift industry's annual recognition of the need for ongoing operator training for forklifts. Feehan shares about the work of the industry to promote safety in and around forklifts and how listeners can participate in this week's safety-focused events.
This past week has seen additional labor disruptions at West Coast ports. The dockworkers at the ports have been without a contract for nearly a year now. The workers staged some slowdowns and stoppages at the ports, which could delay imports as retailers and others ramp up for the back-to-school and holiday seasons. Is there any end in sight to the labor troubles?
The Logistics Managers' Index report is out and it shows the logistics industry entering unprecedented territory. Growth is down, so how healthy is the industry overall? What has been the cause of the downturn and when can we expect to return to growth mode?
DC Velocity's sister publication CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane. It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new eight-part series on Transportation Tech launched this week. Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe.
