The turkey is out of the oven. Rolls are on the table. Family members are starting to find their way into the kitchen, and Thanksgiving dinner is about to begin. The meal is the combination of days of shopping, hours of cooking and endless arguments over what exactly goes into the gravy, but many forget how grand the scope of simply preparing Thanksgiving dinner can be.

It may not be a complete "Happy Thanksgiving" for people who manage 3d party transportation. After some very large decreases in the last few months, the CASS Transportation index decreased again in October. The transportation index dropped 1.4% in October. While this is better than the drop of 2.8% in August and 3.5% in September, it still shows that there is over capacity in the transportation industry.

For anyone who runs a warehouse and has Amazon "come to town" you know, at a very micro level, about the "Amazon Effect". The entire labor and transportation capacity situation in your town changes in an instant. However, it is bigger than that from a nationwide perspective and I had the privilege of listening to a very insightful presentation given by Eric Johnson (Twtr: @AmShipEric), research director and IT editor at American Shipper at the Jacksonville CSCMP roundtable event in October.

Cutting costs and maximizing value are hallmarks of an efficient transportation management system (TMS) solution. Unfortunately, the modern era has given rise to dozens, if not hundreds, of lightning-fast systems, and many of them do improve efficiency.

Business is a lot like the weather: unpredictable. We can forecast as much as we'd like, but we're never 100% certain about how the sky might change. Your supply chain is no exception. Even if we have contracts and consistent revenue, what happens when a surprise load lands in our laps? What happens when all trucks are booked? How many times do we let real business opportunities slide because we lack the capacity?

A multi-lateral trade agreement between 12 countries on the Pacific rim, the Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP, in short, had been a rallying point for both US presidential candidates, with President-elect Donald Trump insisting on doing away with the pact absolutely, simplistically insisting that it allowed for jobs to move out of the USA.

COP22 is the epicenter of negotiations on clean energy and climate change issues, the very concept that president-elect Donald Trump promised to completely remove from his agenda. Scientists, non government organizations, politicians and business leaders dedicated to staving off catastrophic climate change had serious reason to worry.
