Looking at logistics pros and cons early into 2023

With 2023 underway, it is time to take a fresh look at where things stand, as they relate to key trends and themes germane to all things supply chain, logistics, and freight transportation.

But that comes with the caveat that February’s record is not likely to be lasting, with March expected to record an even lower reading, it said, stating that some rate relief will not nearly offset a surge in diesel prices. source https://www.supplychain247.com/article/ftrs_shippers_conditions_index_falls_to_a_new_record_low_reading
