Global supply chains were starting to recover from two years of upheaval caused by the pandemic when the military crisis hit. The further disruption caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could cause major disruptions to the global supply chain and impact South Africa.

Warehouse accidents take both a human and financial toll. Families and colleagues depend on warehouse associates – at home and at work – so the goal is that they leave work just like they came in. When injuries occur, the direct and indirect costs can have an impact on company profitability that can be felt all the way to the boardroom level. So preventing warehouse accidents must be a priority for all corporate and commercial logistics operations.

The combination of increased demand for tanker trucks and diminished capacity has created a dangerous imbalance that threatens the supply lines of chemical companies and other bulk shippers. The risk is highest for smaller bulk shippers who lack the volume to attract carriers’ business. Scarce tanker truck capacity has created an industry dynamic in which the hunters (carriers pursuing freight) are now the hunted (carriers being pursued for scarce capacity).

I did pretty well the same with my trucking company.”.
