Retailers Take a Bite Out of Grocery Shortages, Get a Leg Up with Handhelds

Plus: How labor shortages and port congestion are driving creativity in the chemical logistics industry [Thomas]( [Industry Update]( Logistics Special Edition Have you ever gotten a whiff of french fries as you pass an 18-wheeler on the highway? It may be biodiesel fuel from Chick-fil-A, thanks to their partnership with Darling Ingredients to turn the fast-food giant’s cooking oil waste into green energy for truck drivers. This initiative to repurpose often wasted ingredients into renewable transportation fuel is especially important right now as the average price of diesel reaches $6.45 in New York. In another time and place just two years ago, diesel cost $2.69 per gallon. That massive price rise trickles up and down the supply and demand chain, increasing prices at every touch. Our latest edition of Inbound Logistics dives into environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives that are on the rise and how the supply chain is [reacting to these changes](. We also interviewed supply chain educators on how they are preparing the [next generation]( of industry leaders for a career in an ever-evolving field. Meanwhile, readers [weighed in]( on which pandemic-related shift will have the greatest impact on the supply chain. I’ve highlighted below a few of my favorite articles from our newest issue of Inbound Logistics magazine, an in-depth guide designed to help your team stay ahead of the industrial curve.
