About this listen
A few weeks ago, rumors started to swirl that Amazon might be standing up their own for-hire less-than-truckload (LTL) operation to compete with the likes of FedEx Freight, Old Dominion, XPO, and Saia.
So what are these rumors based on, and how likely are they to be true? More importantly, what would such a move mean for other national LTL carriers?
In this episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barners digs into the details of this buzzworthy supply chain news story:
- Where the rumors started and how Amazon might take the first steps to move into the LTL space
- The current LTL business landscape and why Amazon making that move would be such a big deal
- How likely they are to be successful should they move ahead by either building or buying an LTL operation
