It’s about that time of year when supply chain and logistics managers feel the true urgency and impact of peak season shipping. From time-critical deliveries to warehousing fulfillment, freight is moving – fast.
But regardless of how your inventory makes its way to the shelves, it’s equally important to pause and reflect on the reasons to be thankful. As a freight aficionado and great lover of Ian Dury, I present my ten great freight reasons to be thankful:
- Cheap freight rates!
- Salespeople (like me) bringing delicious office treats.
- Importing the turkey, and then eating it.
- Black Friday shopping, despite knowing the commercial invoice value.
- No port strikes!
- E-commerce deliveries right to the door.
- Operations personnel that go above and beyond for my clients.
- Shippers finding more value and flexibility in freight forwarders (like Green).
- Moving all the holiday gifts and secretly knowing you’re Santa.
- Our Green family of employees, customers, partners and loved ones!
