Here’s a special sneak preview of some of what you will find this week on the Bahrns blog:
- Would you believe that the bar code is turning 40 this year? To celebrate, we’ll look back at the fascinating history of that little squiggly box that has been on packages and products since 1974.
- The fees to ship cargo containers across the Pacific is going up … but that can actually be good news because it may mean a West Coast strike by longshoreman is unlikely.
- Economists are taking a “glass half full” approach to recent economic reports that say retail sales growth remains flat. They remain optimistic that things are going to improve in the very near future.
Plus, an intermodal expo in Long Beach, a growth in third-party logistics, the merger of two supply chain management software companies, and this week’s fascinatingly dangerous Video of the Week! All that and much, much more can be found this week on the Bahrns blog, so stay tuned!
