The COVID-19 pandemic has upended production levels, consumer demand, and supply chain logistics at nearly every point across the globe. As trucking companies, air cargo carriers, and ocean shipping firms wrestle with new realities, manufacturers are now considering long-term adjustments to how they source inventory and deliver finished products.
