The uncertainty created by more protectionist policies out of Washington make supply-chain professional jobs increasingly more stressful and unpredictable. Shippers need to be nimble, patient and not overly reactive to headlines out of the White House. In this episode of the Talking Transports podcast, John Janson, vice president of global logistics at SanMar, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share his insights about navigating today’s environment. Janson talks about SanMar’s ocean, parcel, less-than-truckload, intermodal and truckload strategies, rates and how its playbook during the pandemic may help it come out of current headwinds in a better position with its customers and transportation providers. The company has been proactively diversifying its exposure to China for some time.
