- 11 AM–12 PM EST
If your third-party logistics (3PL) business is like most, you grew revenues and profits over the course of 2020 and 2021. Demand for capacity was high and the market was completely in your favor. Now, as the market slows, analysts are debating whether this is a temporary lull or if a freight recession is on its way. Inflation is escalating, spot rates are on the decline, fuel prices are soaring, and capacity is loosening. During times like these, it's important to be continuously assessing your business and what you need to do to stay competitive. When freight markets are volatile, there are several things 3PL businesses can do to minimize impact and emerge stronger.
2. Fight cyber threats with cyber resilience

Join our panel of experts for an interactive session to share Intel on the latest Cyber Security trends and steps you can take to improve your Cybersecurity Posture.
