Our guest on this week's episode is Victor Thomas, VP of Health, Safety, Security, and Environment at Odyssey Logistics. For some time now, companies have measured the environmental impacts of their operations. Soon, new requirements will kick in that will also require them to report not only on their own environmental impacts but also those of their supply chain partners. Senior News Editor Ben Ames has more as he talks with this week's guest. Senior Editor Victoria Kickham was on the road last week at the SMC3 Connections trucking event where she lead a couple of sessions and heard a lot about the hot tech that everyone is trying to figure out - artificial intelligence. She reports on how the industry is grappling with this new technology.We all know that Christmas and the winter holiday season come in late December for consumers. But if you're a retailer getting ready for the rush, you need to have your shelves stocked long before that, and that means that the logistics peak season actually comes between August and October. But, that's in normal times -  2026 is different. We're seeing signs that we've already begun an early peak season for container imports.

In this episode, we kick things off at the nation's busiest container gateway, where frontloading is fueling a massive early peak season surge. The Port of Los Angeles handled over 840,000 TEUs in May, up seventeen percent from a year ago, driven by strong inventory replenishment, concerns about fuel costs, trade-policy uncertainty, and preparation for upcoming retail seasons. Loaded imports surged twenty-six percent year-over-year, rebounding sharply from May 2025 when import traffic was severely undercut by Liberation Day tariffs on China. Meanwhile, the truckload market's upswing is officially ushering in driver pay hikes across the sector. Joliet-based carrier GP Transco increased pay for all company drivers by five cents per mile, pushing the upper end to seventy-two cents per mile, while Dubuque's Hirschbach announced a ten-cent per mile increase for over-the-road drivers. A supply-led trucking recovery has prompted the need for enhanced driver pay and perks, with heightened regulatory enforcement purging noncompliant drivers from the market since last fall. Finally, the Federal Railroad Administration is greenlighting expanded testing of high-tech track inspection systems as Class I railroads prepare for a major safety upgrade. The FRA recently approved a five-year waiver that lets railroads expand the use of Automated Track Inspection technology, which uses lasers, cameras, sensors, and ground-penetrating radar to scan tracks for defects. CSX plans to start using the waiver on July first, deploying the technology across over three thousand route miles, with early data showing ATI reduces track geometry defects by ninety percent in some cases.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a massive competitive move that could fundamentally reshape the less-than-truckload landscape. Amazon announced the full expansion of its LTL service to all destinations, rolling out a traditional hub-and-spoke network capable of moving palletized freight anywhere nationwide at lower costs than legacy carriers. The service includes next-day live pickup, same-day drop-trailer options, real-time GPS tracking, and automated appointment scheduling, positioning the e-commerce giant as a serious threat to incumbent trucking companies like FedEx Freight, Old Dominion, and Estes. Next, we shift over to the autonomous trucking sector, where PepsiCo and Gatik have launched the largest commercial driverless freight deployment to date. This multi-year strategic partnership brings fully driver-out trucks into PepsiCo's consumer goods supply chain, with operations already live across Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas serving around two hundred fifty retail locations. These autonomous trucks maintain a ninety-nine percent on-time track record with no safety drivers in the cab, and a South Carolina production facility is set to begin mass-producing Level four autonomous trucks in the second half of twenty twenty-seven. Finally, we explore the trans-Pacific shipping market, where new tariffs are fueling an unusually early frontloading frenzy and peak season. Rate hikes and surcharges that took effect June first sent Asia-to-U.S. West Coast prices soaring fifty-one percent to four thousand eight hundred thirty-six dollars per forty-foot container, while East Coast prices jumped twenty-five percent. With the U.S. Trade Representative announcing new tariffs on sixty countries over forced labor concerns, the National Retail Federation has moved the expected peak season to June from July and predicts June import volumes will run five percent higher than May.

Peak season is here, and I know a lot of you are gearing up the same way you always have… watching your calendar, adjusting pricing, and hoping the algorithm works in your favor. But in this episode of Branded & Booked, I'm challenging that entire approach. Because the biggest shift you can make right now isn't tactical, it's foundational. You're not just managing listings. You're building a business. And if your strategy starts and ends with OTAs, you're building it on borrowed land. Inside this episode, I walk through the mindset shift that separates hosts who stay stuck in the cycle of price tweaking and platform dependency from those who actually build something scalable and sustainable. I share what it looks like to step out of obsessing over Airbnb performance and into building a brand, an audience, and a direct booking ecosystem that gives you real control. I also pull back the curtain on what this has looked like at Cabins on the Cumberland, including hitting nearly 50% direct bookings on one cabin and outperforming market ADR before even experiencing a full peak season with the full property complete. Not as a highlight reel, but as proof of what happens when you commit to long-term strategy over short-term wins. You'll start to see why the real risk isn't seasonality or competition, it's building something you don't actually own. And what becomes possible when you shift your focus to branding, marketing, and guest experience in a way that compounds over time. Because the goal isn't just to fill your calendar this season. It's to build a brand, a system, and a business that keeps it full. If you're ready to stop relying on OTAs and start building a brand that drives direct bookings, you can learn more about working with us at theweberco.com. And if you want hands-on support building your brand, marketing strategy, and direct booking systems, our agency offers both done-for-you services and consulting to help you get there.

Black Week, Cyber Monday, Weihnachtsgeschäft – funktionieren Rabatte noch oder zerstören sie langfristig die Profitabilität? In dieser Folge des Marketing Transformation Podcast spricht Erik Siekmann mit Tim Nedden (Co-Founder Front Row) über die wichtigsten Learnings aus der Shopping Season 2025. Gemeinsam analysieren sie, warum der E-Commerce in Deutschland stagniert – sogar auf den großen Plattformen –, weshalb der Mythos vom discountfreien Wachstum nicht haltbar ist und warum Customer Lifetime Value heute die entscheidende Steuerungsgröße ist. Außerdem geht es um die Frage, welche Produkte in der Peak Season wirklich rabattiert werden sollten, wie sich das Kaufverhalten zeitlich nach vorne verschiebt und welche Rolle datengetriebene Steuerungssysteme wie die Amazon Marketing Cloud dabei spielen. Über Tim Nedden Tim Nedden ist Managing Director im Bereich Ecommerce Management bei FRONT ROW, der internationalen E-Commerce- und Digitalagentur, die aus der früheren Finc3 Marketing Group hervorgegangen ist, die er 2014 gemeinsam mit Jan Bechler und Björn Sjut aufgebaut hat.

Our guest on this week's episode is Kraig Foreman, president of eCommerce at DHL Supply Chain. While stores are already showing the Christmas spirit with all of their beautiful decorations and being crammed with lots of inventory – peak season has not officially kicked off yet. But it will next week with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. After a tumultuous year for supply chains – are retailers prepared to handle the most wonderful time of the year? Our guest today joins Victoria Kickham with some insights.  While many industries are struggling to realize value from AI, transportation appears to be ahead of the curve, according to Breakthrough, which is a Wisconsin-based provider of transportation and supply chain solutions for shippers. That result came from the company's “Peak Shipping Season Pulse,” a survey of 300 industry decision-makers. The report found that 49% of U.S. transportation leaders say artificial intelligence reshaped how they managed this year's Q4 peak season rush.According to a survey of more than 400 U.S. warehouse associates, most view robotics and automation as a benefit to their careers and livelihoods. The survey was conducted by global warehouse robotics provider Exotec and is detailed in the company's recent “Warehouse Workers Sentiment Report: Understanding the Impact of Automation on Retention and Satisfaction.” Company leaders said the survey reveals a “surprisingly strong embrace of robotics” on the warehouse floor, with a majority of respondents saying they are interested in working with robots. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains.

Our guest on this week's episode is Frank Kenney, director of industry strategy at Cleo. The Federal government shutdown is in its third week now with no end in sight. Beyond the politics of each party blaming the other for failing to fund the government, there are real repercussions that affect many aspects of American life – including our supply chains. Our guests shares how this latest disruption is adding even more uncertainty and how our supply chains should respond. Price and trust top shoppers' wish lists this holiday season, as U.S. consumers say accurate delivery promises are just as important as good deals this year, ramping up the pressure on retailers to meet shipping expectations.The trucking industry has been in a freight recession for more than three years now, which generally means there are too many trucks for not enough freight, so the rates that drivers can charge are super low. But there's more to the picture than that, and this week we saw a report that shed some light on it. It reveals that business conditions are very different depending if you're in the truckload sector, less than truckload, or parcel. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Our guest on this week's episode is Scott Cornell, vice president, National Practice Lead—Transportation and Inland Marine at Travelers. Summer will soon be wrapping up, but the heat of summer will be around for a few more weeks yet, at least. Too much of that heat can destroy food and other products while they are in transit. How can we protect temperature-controlled cargo? We have some tips. As we approach peak season, a new survey shows that the supply chain sector is actually feeling more confident in their fulfillment systems for 2025 than they were in 2024. The research shows that 84% expressed confidence in their fulfillment systems for 2025, compared to the 70% of executives who entered peak season confident last year.Conditions in the truckload freight market have remained stable this year but coming peak-season shipping activity is likely to test that stability. This is according to some recent data from freight brokerage RXO, which released its latest quarterly Curve report earlier this month.

This is a jam packed episode with inspiring storytellers through food, film, and fiction. We start with a panel chat with Hugo Gamino and Claudia Restrepo. Hugo is a chef and writer dedicated to sharing the untold stories behind the recipes that have shaped his life and career. His writing is fostering understanding, and bringing to life an empathetic viewpoint of diversity while challenging toxic masculinity. Claudia is an LA-based writer, director, and actor who is passionate about minority and queer representation, both in front and behind the camera. She recently executive produced and starred in the film “Peak Season” a refreshing romantic comedy that's free from the typical tropes of its genre. See it now on Prime.  Next up, we have Paola Mendoza, who you may know as  the artist director and co-founder of the 2017 Women's March. She's directed many projects, including the beautiful film “Entre Nos”, the semi-autobiographical story based on Paola's mother's arrival to the US from Colombia. Paola joins us to speak about her latest book, SOLIS, which she co-wrote with Abby Sher and is a companion to their first book, Sanctuary. Especially in light of candidate Trump's vile depiction of immigration during the debate, we need works of art like SOLIS to remind us that the dystopian world in the story is not too far off where we can be headed if he is reelected. Tamarindo is a lighthearted show hosted by Brenda Gonzalez and Delsy Sandoval talking about politics, culture, and self-development. We're here to uplift our community through powerful conversations with changemakers, creatives, and healers. Join us as we delve into discussions on race, gender, representation, and life!
