2022 will be a year of change for shippers. Labor shortages are causing the carriers to struggle to meet capacity demands. Meanwhile, consumer demand for sustainable practices is on the rise. Carriers have always taken a sophisticated approach to determining pricing and routing freight, but the disruptions of the last two years are forcing them to completely recreate their projections – even as labor shortages and spikes in demand for capacity make it hard to establish a baseline.

Caleb Nelson is the Chief Growth Officer at Sifted, a logistics intelligence platform that helps parcel shippers leverage their data to implement the changes necessary in this ever-shifting market.

In this interview, Caleb simplifies the complexity of shipping costs with co-hosts Scott Luton, Greg White, and a Supply Chain Now livestream audience:

• The multitude of challenges being caused by shortages of labor and capacity, how companies are responding, and whether it is jeopardizing their profitability

• The growing pains being felt as companies scramble to build new projections after the disruption of COVID-19

• What all these pressures in combination are going to do to peak seasons – for shippers and carriers
