At the 2023 edition of the North American Supply Chain Executive Summit series we sat down with Derek Bealby, a Vice President of AFMS, LLC about how supply chain leaders can work with their partners to control shipping costs in a world of inflation, rising labor costs, rising fuel costs, and frequent disruptions. Many 3PLs are under intense pressure to pass their costs on to their customers, and negotiating contracts can be a complicated business. How should supply chain executives best approach this situation with both long-term business partners, and also new shippers as they optimize their footprint and build resiliency into their operations? Where can they get the information they need to have the right conversations the right way? Listen to this interview for more.
