Date: September 7, 2017 | 1:15pm - 2:15pm (CDT)
Joe Wilkinson, Director, Consulting / enVista

Many shippers have a tendency to focus almost exclusively on transportation charges (rates) during their parcel carrier negotiations. However, doing so leaves you exposed to the hidden danger in parcel Service Guides, surcharges. In this session we’ll discuss the history of surcharges, the scope and scale of their cost impact, what’s coming in the future relative to surcharges, and what you can do to mitigate the sting. We will also demystify the upcoming implementation of UPS’ and FedEx’s new peak surcharges; a subject sure to be on everyone’s mind as we roll toward the holiday shipping season. Join industry veteran Joe Wilkinson for what’s sure to be a lively and valuable discussion for parcel shippers.
