In March 2020, the supply-chain world as we knew it was flipped on its head. America’s $22T economy came to an abrupt halt and we stopped shipping freight. This impacted everyone in the trucking industry—shippers, third-party logistics companies, and carriers—however, some narratives and headlines have suggested TIA Members have been taking massive margins off-the-top of the cost to move goods. This could not be further from the truth. The transportation industry—like many industries in the American economy—is hurting right now as a result of the impact of COVID-19. We are not immune from the recession; our members are living and working through this national nightmare.
In this episode of the TIA Delivers Podcast, we sit down with Jim Berlin, Founder & CEO of Logistics Plus, who talks about TIA’s relationship with his company, as well as National Logistics Day, which he formally registered himself. During the episode, Berlin talks about the impact of COVID-19 on the logistics industry, and what he hopes for 3PLs in the future.
