Moving freight in time of crisis-April 16

Description

Moving your products in this time of crisis - Many businesses are still required to move freight during the COVID-19 outbreak. Whether bringing in materials to their business or sending products out, both within and outside the USA. While many businesses may have suspended their production, longer lead times require supply chains to continue moving.

So what should you consider in these uncertain times? Pricing, availability of cargo space, types of shipments [air, ground (if appropriate), ocean freight], delivery speed, shipment sizes--all of these issues need to be thought through, current market conditions evaluated and adjustments made to fit your operation.

Join our zoom webinar to get answers to these questions and more from major international freight forwarders/specialists who are experts in the movement of products. Prepare your questions in advance related to your specific shipping and logistics requirements.

Specialists from FWO Fracht and Air-Sea Forwarders, Inc. will join us for a panel discussion and answer your questions.

Presenters:
Kevin Renteria, regional sales manager, Air-Sea Forwarders, Inc.
Estefania Gallo Prot, RDM & global procurement, Fracht FWO Inc.
