This week on Supply Chain Secrets, Lars Jensen and Caroline Weaver unpack the biggest trade development of the year: a surprise 90-day tariff pause between the U.S. and China. But don't be fooled—this isn't a trade deal, it's a ceasefire. Lars breaks down the predictable—and chaotic—domino effects already unfolding: empty shelves, congested ports, volatile freight rates, and a scramble to move peak-season cargo before the next deadline hits. Plus, they explore the latest NYSHEX Freight Index (NYFI) data and what it reveals about rates, equipment risk, and demand distortions. From peak season panic to port bottlenecks, this episode helps shippers brace for what's next.
The market is in flux—tariffs, blank sailings, air freight shifts, and rate volatility are reshaping global supply chains. In this episode, Caroline Weaver and Lars Jensen are joined by Rich Heath, VP of Freight Products & Services at NYSHEX, to break down the recent launch of the NYSHEX Freight Index. Learn how this new tool provides real-time rate visibility, enables index-linked contracts, and could pave the way for freight derivatives. Recorded just days after the Index Day event at the New York Stock Exchange, this conversation covers what's changing, what's not, and how shippers and NVOs can regain control in unpredictable times.

Will anyone make a move—or are we all just watching and waiting?In this episode of Supply Chain Secrets, Caroline Weaver and Lars Jensen welcome Don Davis, SVP Commercial at ZIM, for a frank discussion on how the new wave of tariffs is paralyzing the industry. In a combined 60 years our hosts have in the industry, they've never seen volatility like this.From 145% shocks out of China to strategic blank sailings, and ripple effects no one's fully prepared for, this conversation digs into:-Why front-loading isn't always the answer-How exporters are being squeezed-What's stalling long-term planning-And how IMO's latest emissions ruling barely made a blip in the chaosIf you're trying to make smart supply chain decisions in the fog of tariff uncertainty, this episode gives you perspective—and permission to pause.
Caroline Weaver is an obsessive shopper, former specialty shop owner, and creator of The Locavore Guide. During her years as a shopkeeper, she yearned for a resource to help others understand what it actually means to "shop small" and to share information about why it's better for everyone. In a world of algorithms and convenience, most of us have lost touch with the ways in which shopping acts as a gateway for community building. Caroline spent a year walking hundreds of miles through every borough of New York City to get a grip on what's out there and where to find it and to learn about how the small business economy works on a bigger scale. Through her research, Caroline discovered that NYC really does have it all. The Locavore Guide is here not only for locating that thing you need to buy but also to help you learn how to use your regular errands as a reason to get out and engage with your surroundings and visit neighborhoods you've yet to explore. Join Caroline in seeing the city through the lens of a Locavore!Here, Caroline shares her journey from running a specialty pencil store in her early 20s to developing the amazing directory that is The Locavore Guide. She dives into all the lessons she learned as a young retail shop owner and why she's passionate about keeping the pulse on independent retail. Caroline also shares her bicycle-powered sourcing strategy, how she tackled the holiday season, how she decides what goes on sale, and her take on tariffs.PS -Don't forget to take Caroline's Shop Survey (linked below)!We are doing our first ever open call!
