The consumer continues to look healthy and the supply chain has regained stability as the holiday shopping season begins. "Across the board, we are seeing volumes very similar to what we've seen in past years, especially last year," said Kelleher. Amazon recently announced its plan to hire 250,000 additional workers for the holiday season, the same seasonal hiring level as last year. "This will achieve some cost efficiencies in getting that volume out because of inflation and cost," he said. "So typically, Cyber Monday is a heavy volume day," Kelleher said.

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailDHL Supply Chain's Jim Monkmeyer on current logistics trends and the future of freightCNBC's Lori Ann LaRocco joins DHL Supply Chain President of Transportation Jim Monkmeyer to discuss current ocean freight trends, consumer confidence, a recent boom in e-commerce and the future digitalization of trucking.
The market did not like what it saw from the final retail holiday sales numbers for 2022 which sets up a tough year for retailers, but e-commerce is continuing to boom, including in areas outside the core retail consumer. Trucking data shared by DHL with CNBC shows that while the core consumer market has pulled back, in many categories e-commerce sales remain strong. "E-commerce is continuing to boom," said Jim Monkmeyer, president of transportation for DHL Supply Chain, North America. Amid weak holiday sales year over year, it was online and nonstore sales that saw the biggest year-over-year gains, jumping 9.5% during the holiday season, according to the National Retail Federation data released on Wednesday. But Monkmeyer said DHL is seeing a continued downturn of the core retail consumer, with the near-record inventories a stark reminder of the pullback.
The dour outlook comes after almost three years of global supply chain problems, which began with the shutdown of Wuhan, China, where the Covid outbreak began. Jon Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy of the NRF, said the administration has taken steps to address the supply chain challenges. Earlier this year, for example, the administration rolled out a pilot supply chain data sharing program called Freight Logistics Optimization Works, or FLOW. "The administration needs to remain focused and continue to convene the right supply chain stakeholders to discuss ways to improve supply chain operations and expand data sharing to create a truly 21st century supply chain," Gold said. Nate Herman, AAFA's senior vice president, of policy told CNBC the problems that created the supply chain crisis are far from over.
TuSimple, Navistar scrap deal to develop self-driving trucks

Dec 5 (Reuters) - TuSimple Holdings Inc (TSP.O) and Navistar have ended a deal to co-develop self-driving trucks, the companies announced on Monday. In 2020, Illinois-based Navistar bought a minority stake in TuSimple and announced a deal to co-develop heavy-duty self-driving trucks by 2024, as the autonomous driving technology space boomed with investor attention. The trucks would have operated at Level 4 autonomy - where vehicles can operate without a driver under set conditions. TuSimple also received nearly 7,000 orders for the self-driving trucks from companies including DHL Supply Chain, Schneider (SNDR.N) and U.S. Xpress (USX.N). San Diego, California-based TuSimple, which in October said it plans to focus on initial commercialization of its trucks in 2023, did not specify reasons for ending the deal.

Chief information officers at logistics companies like DHL Supply Chain North America and GXO Logistics Inc. are increasing investments in robots designed to move inventory around warehouses, but not all robots are up to the task yet, they say. GXO Logistics said it expects to be using more than 5,800 robots globally by the end of this year, up from 3,800 last year, while Kenco Logistics Services LLC plans to leverage roughly 120, up from 30 last year.

While warehouse robotic technology is mature in some areas, such as transporting goods from point A to point B, it is less mature in terms of picking up and placing down goods, tech leaders say.
