How Food Shippers' Shipping Expectations Are Changing In A Volatile Market

Food shipping has become even more complicated in a pandemic truckload marketplace.

 

While every industry has been affected in some way by COVID-19 and the economic shutdowns that are still occurring to help curb the spread, one could argue that shippers in the food space have had one of the most difficult journeys of all. Spikes in demand and low volumes in stores forced food shippers to adapt quickly to respond not only to in-store demand, but also the influx of e-commerce that followed.
