Parcel delivery is getting faster, increasingly fragmented and more technology-driven as alternative carriers and automation challenge traditional models. In this bonus episode of the Talking Transports podcast, recorded on the exhibit floor of the PARCEL Forum 2026 conference, Bloomberg Intelligence’s Lee Klaskow speaks with executives from Loop, OnTrac, OSM Worldwide, Parcel Pending by Quadient, Veho, UniUni and Slip Robotics. The conversations explore AI-powered freight audit, seven-day parcel networks, postal workshare, smart lockers, gig and DSP delivery models, and robotics that can load and unload a trailer in about five minutes. The episode also highlights OnTrac’s 75-80% shopper reach, UniUni’s roughly 1.5 million daily packages and how technology is helping carriers and shippers lower costs, improve speed and expand consumer choice.
