In this episode, our guest is Steve Denton, CEO of Ware2Go, a UPS company. All businesses have been affected by Covid-19 during the past year and a half, but merchants and retailers have experienced more ups and downs than many. One of the more challenging problems is the rising cost of transportation for their goods.

The latest Logistics Managers Index has been released. This monthly report gauges logistics activity and shows continued expansion in the sector. Is this a trend that will continue into next year?
