This holiday shipping season is expected to be marked by fewer delays and disruptions compared with the past two years, thanks to early freight movements, a flattening of volume and increased capacity, experts said.
“That concern over supply chain consistency — availability of capacity and capability of companies — I don’t think that’s going to be a big issue this fall,” DHL Express U.S. CEO Greg Hewitt said. “There’s a little more capacity than there was before. That’s taken the pressure off of the fixed networks like ours, and the guys in purple and brown.”
