Here, we’ll provide an overview of the findings of this year’s report and recent moves by the FMC.

The 2022 State of Logistics report found that U.S.-based supply chains have been—and continue to be—"out of sync.”

In early July, rail congestion at some of the West Coast ports was so bad it was described as “reaching an inflection point.”

Another factor adding to supply chain constraints: a shortage of chassis to move all those containers.

The ongoing supply chain crisis has underscored the need for deeper and more accurate supply chain visibility.

FLOW—aka Freight Logistics Optimization Works—is a new initiative aimed at improving “digital infrastructure to connect the supply chain.”

Port congestion was a major contributor to these well-publicized shipping delays.

Is the risk of indirectly doing business with these fourth-party companies also being assessed and managed?

Supply chain disruptions are also disrupting the ability for companies across industries to hire the employees they need to reach goals.

Reciprocal shipping rules could end up making a big impact for both proponents and opponents across the rail-shipping landscape.

Inland ports were viewed as part of a key strategy to help reduce congestion and the capacity crunch at coastal ports.

Stakeholders across the supply chain are crossing their fingers that things will be better this year than last.

The overflow of shipping containers clogging up ports has been a primary culprit behind the long lines of cargo ships waiting to unload.

2022 could bring more good fortune for carriers operating in the LTL segment.

According to October 2021 data from the International Air Transport Association, global air cargo demand was up 9.4% compared to 2019.

A look at a few of the recent changes and collaborative efforts being applied to help make a dent in persistent supply chain congestion.

With the long lines of container ships waiting to gain access to ports around the world, some experts worry there won't be enough.

One of the big shifts has been the surge of intermodal traffic over the past few decades.

Current dynamics impacting drayage largely relate to shortages across the board.

A July 5th tweet from Drewry predicted it may be awhile, noting that “the shipping sector sees no relief on the horizon before 2022.”
