Our guest on this week's episode is Peter Latta, chairman and CEO of A. Duie Pyle, a Northeast regional trucking and logistics company. This year marks the 100th anniversary of A. Duie Pyle. Latta discusses some of the challenges his company has overcome to hit the century mark as well as issues currently facing the trucking industry.
Finding workers for our nation’s warehouses has not been easy the past couple of years. But there is automation available that can help to close the warehouse labor gap. Looking for ways to maximize your workforce and improve throughput? Automated forklifts may be the answer.
The Covid pandemic caused all sorts of headaches for anyone trying to run a logistics business. One of the biggest challenges was the wild fluctuations of inventory levels in warehouses. We experienced huge demand for certain goods, then shortages, then over-compensation, then port congestion… basically it was a mess. But things may be finally improving. We discuss a report this week that said that U.S. retailers may have finally gotten their inventory levels to settle down again, or right-sized.
