The scale of fuel consumption in trucking is staggering. A single semi-truck burns through more fuel in one year than a regular car does in 40. That’s the equivalent of filling up your tank every day for four decades. How does this compare to what you expected? 👇 #Logistics #LogisticsTrivia #SupplyChainFun #LogisticsFacts #TriviaTuesday #SupplyChainTrivia #LogisticsKnowledge #FunWithLogistics #LogisticsEducation #TransportTrivia #LogisticsCommunity #TruckDrivers #TruckingLife #TruckingCommunity #FuelConsumption

For years, e-commerce brands have relied on the de minimis exemption to import low-cost goods into the U.S. without paying duties. By allowing shipments under $800 to bypass import taxes, this rule made it easier for platforms like Temu, SHEIN, and Amazon to offer fast, low-cost cross-border shipping. But now, that advantage is disappearing. With new tariffs taking effect, most imports from China no longer qualify for de minimis treatment. Starting in March, Canada and Mexico could also lose their exemptions. As a result, e-commerce retailers must rethink their sourcing, fulfillment, and pricing strategies—or risk massive disruptions. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀? 𝟭. 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 & 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 Fast fashion brands like SHEIN and Zara have used de minimis to ship small parcels directly to U.S. consumers, avoiding bulk import duties. With that option gone, businesses may have to import inventory in larger volumes, requiring them to pay tariffs upfront. Many will likely pass these added costs onto consumers. 𝟮. 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 & 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Retailers that rely on just-in-time fulfillment from warehouses in Canada and Mexico may need to rethink their logistics strategies. Carriers like FedEx, UPS, and DHL, which handle a significant volume of cross-border shipments, will also need to adjust operations to accommodate new customs requirements. 𝟯. 𝗔 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Some brands may move production to other low-tariff countries. Others, particularly those in electronics (like Anker Innovations LTD), might explore reshoring fulfillment and warehousing to the U.S. to avoid increasing costs. The era of ultra-cheap e-commerce is coming to an end. Brands that adapt quickly by optimizing their supply chains, shifting their fulfillment strategies, or absorbing their costs strategically will be the ones that stay ahead. We, at Landry Logistics, are here to support e-commerce brands stay ahead of these changes with efficient shipping, warehousing, and fulfillment strategies.

Freight delays don’t just inconvenience your business—they cost you money, time, and customer trust. Late shipments lead to lost revenue, production slowdowns, and strained customer relationships. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗗𝗼 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻? 𝟭. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 High shipment volumes and limited capacity at major ports and distribution centers force trucks to wait hours for loading and unloading. During peak seasons, full warehouses leave shipments stuck or rerouted. This disrupts supply chains and causes delays. How We Solve It: We secure warehouse and port appointments in advance. This reduces wait times and keeps freight on schedule. When facilities reach capacity, our 3PL network provides alternative solutions to avoid costly delays. 𝟮. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 Last-minute cancellations, no-shows, or inefficient scheduling can leave freight stranded. If trucks arrive too early or too late, it leads to unnecessary downtime and disruptions. How We Solve It: We work with a vetted network of trusted carriers. This ensures freight is ready when trucks arrive. Our scheduling process minimizes idle time and keeps shipments moving. 𝟯. 𝗗𝗢𝗧 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Overweight loads or non-compliance with DOT and FMCSA regulations can sideline trucks for hours or even days. This causes missed deadlines and extra costs. How We Solve It: We ensure all shipments comply with DOT regulations before departure. Our team verifies weight limits, load distribution, and carrier compliance. This prevents unnecessary delays. 𝟰. 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Storms, floods, and wildfires can close highways and force reroutes. These delays increase costs and disrupt shipments. Without contingency plans, businesses struggle to adapt. How We Solve It: We track real-time weather conditions and proactively reroute shipments. This helps avoid disruptions. For time-sensitive industries, we provide expedited solutions to keep supplies moving. 𝟱. 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Uncertainty is one of the most frustrating aspects of freight delays. Many shippers are left in the dark, and some logistics providers fail to provide timely updates. How We Solve It: Landry Logistics offers 24/7 communication and real-time tracking.

With major shifts in the freight industry, USPS appears to be relying more on third-party logistics (3PL) providers to adapt to operational challenges and ensure reliable service.

Did you know? Amazon uses over 200,000 robots in its fulfillment centers to help manage inventory and speed up order processing. These robots work alongside human workers to make picking, packing, and shipping faster, safer, and more efficient. Since Amazon introduced this technology in 2012, it’s completely transformed how warehouses operate. Experts even predict that by 2030, robots could outnumber people in Amazon’s warehouses, with about 1,000 new robots being added every day. The future of logistics is looking more automated than ever!
