FedEx and UPS are trying to navigate an ever-changing parcel industry as volume mix shifts toward more-expensive home deliveries and increased competition from the likes of Amazon.com, which have weighed on margins. These legacy players are focused on productivity improvements, expense controls and restructuring networks in the hopes of thriving in this complex environment. In this Talking Transports podcast, Satish Jindel, president of SJ Consulting and ShipMatrix, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share his insights about what’s shaping the parcel and less-than-truckload landscapes. Jindel also discusses many aspects of the LTL market, including, consolidation, FedEx Freight’s spinoff and carriers’ pricing power.
