State of Parcel Express & Last-Mile Logistics

You get what you negotiate
Thursday, March 26, 2020 | 2pm ET


The combination of solid economic fundamentals and steady consumer spending continues to provide a blueprint for success for service providers in the dynamic parcel express market. The ubiquitous duopoly of UPS and FedEx continue to make their collective presence felt on many levels, and global e-commerce titan Amazon is closing in and taking active and measured steps to bring more deliveries into its own network.

But there is more to what’s happening in these markets than these three market players continuing to make their collective presence felt.

Join us as for a comprehensive update on the parcel express and last-mile logistics markets, including:

  • Rate and pricing environment and how rule changes, service guide changes and additional handling charges will be impacted
  • The impact of market conditions on service and the role the U.S. economy within the market
  • The ongoing increase in last-mile logistics activity in the form of things like new players entering the market, as well as motor carriers getting more involved and active in last-mile
  • Amazon's emerging influence in both the parcel and last-mile sectors
