In this series, we take a look at the past, present and future of parcel carriers and e-commerce shippers in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.
The past is a peak season in which capacity was scarce, communication incomplete, volume unprecedented and service erratic. The present is the ubiquity of same-day logistics startups and their integration into retailers’ e-commerce options. And the future is a new dynamic between shippers and carriers that could benefit a select few.
