| The effect of the UPS deal on the cold chain | 26 Jul 2023 | 00:08:47 | |
Mary O’Connell - Running on Ice Community - FreightWaves - St. Louis, MO
UPS has a comprehensive cold chain program, specifically geared toward health care logistics. There are 15.6 million packages and documents delivered daily for the health care supply chain and with 1,800 facilities across 200 countries, there is a global supply chain that gets brought to its knees should the Teamsters strike. Reuters has said that should UPS go on strike, the U.S. economy alone will take a $7 billion hit. Why is it so hard for pharmaceuticals to seek other parcel carrier options?
What is the lasting impact of shippers making switches before the agreement was made.
Do you think this will cause shippers to diversify some of their carrier options in the future?
