Shipping costs went from $6,000 to $30,000 for a few pallets.
That is not a headline. That is a margin crisis.
In this episode of Behind Closed Books, Corey Carruth explains what really happens when supply chains break, tariffs shift mid-shipment, and freight inflation wipes out projected profits.
This is the operational reality behind global sourcing.
You’ll learn:
What supply chain management actually involves
How sourcing from Germany and South Korea affects margin
Why ocean and air freight exploded during COVID
How tariffs are applied at the port of entry
Why unpredictable rate changes destroy forecasting
How operating at break even protected employees
Why building a reserve fund saved the business
If you run a product-based company, this episode will sharpen how you think about inventory, pricing, and risk.
