This week, the heroic efforts of the American trucking and logistics industry should be obvious to anyone that has seen the empty shelves at their local market – only to come back the next day and find them filled again.
We at The SPL Group, have been taking the spread of COVID-19 very seriously, monitoring its impact on cargo flows, and analyzing economic data throughout Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. For us, this is a labor of love. We are logistics professionals, and take great pride in the efforts of our industry right now. Notice how the freight industry is the always-responder; involved in relief, recovery, and replenishment efforts throughout natural disasters, weather emergencies, and now the Coronavirus Pandemic.
We urge all of our clients and readers to take precautionary measures over the next few weeks. While exercising caution, The SPL Group will continue to stay true to our mission of providing the latest information and context about the market, shipping trends, and of course, the impact of COVID-19 on the global Shipping Industry. We recognize that with the new work-from-home environments taking hold across the industry, logistics professionals are going to want to be engaged and informed. Follow us for the latest updates.
