At a broader level of freight planning, shippers are reassessing their inventory strategies. “They’re moving from ‘just-in-case’ pandemic-era models to hybrid approaches that limit carrying costs and position goods closer to customers. That means evaluating trade-offs in sourcing locations, inventory placement, and transportation," said Noah Hoffman, vice president of North American surface transportation with C.H. Robinson.

“With real-time visibility across both our own and our strategic contract carriers’ fleets, we’re able to monitor each trailer in real time, at rest or in motion, and help [shippers and carriers] streamline operations, right-size trailer pools, maximize uptime, and minimize waste, leading to lower costs and less unplanned work." said Adam McDonough, vice president of truckload at C.H. Robinson.
