Here’s a special sneak peek at some of what you will find this week on the Bahrns blog:
- The contract between dock workers and management at West Coast port has expired and some are fearing the worst as the possibility of a strike looms. We’ll tell you who could be hurt most if ports from San Diego to Seattle are shut down.
- The unlikely beneficiary of the boom in online shopping is Memphis, a town once best known as the home of Elvis Presley and great barbecue. We’ll tell you which giant parcel carrier recently announced a huge expansion of operations there.
- Many shoppers today are using their smart phones rather than the shopping mall to buy the good and services they want. Now retailers are worried that the supply chain may not be ready for the sudden influx in omni-channel shoppping.
Plus, a robot that can do the packing jobs that are too tough for humans, electronic logging devices for long-distance truckers, and what former President George W. Bush and the rock band Cheap Trick have in common. All this and much, much more can be found this week on the Bahrns blog, so stay tuned!
