Guest: Mark Stanton of PowerFleet on preparing supply chains for hurricane season; A major player changes hiring policies for warehouse workers; Logistics continues to see strong growth

Logistics Matters with DC VELOCITY

In this episode, guest Mark Stanton, general manager for PowerFleet for Supply Chain, discusses the upcoming hurricane season and how we can prepare our supply chains to better handle disruptions. We all know that hurricanes are likely to happen; we just don't know where or when they will occur. But, companies can prepare their supply chains now using technology tools and collaboration to monitor their assets and direct products and people away from areas of disruption.
Amazon is changing its hiring practices and some of its work rules to find more workers in a very tight labor market. You may be surprised to hear what the company has chosen to eliminate as part of potential new employee screening.
As the economy emerges from the pandemic, logistics continues to be one of the most important contributors to getting our lives back to normal. This month's Logistics Managers' Index reflects growth that continues to move along like a freight train. But with that surging growth come high costs and tight capacity.
