And we're back! Welcome to Season 2 of This Week in Logistics! 🎙️✨

This season is extra special. We're welcoming a familiar CartonCloud face Javier Hernandez as our new co-host alongside CEO Shaun Hagen to help shed light on what's happening across the industry + what it means for your operation.

A lot has moved in supply chain since our last episode — and none of it in a single direction.

In our S2 debut episode, Shaun + Javier tackle the biggest headlines hitting your bottom line:
⛽ $140 Oil Spikes: Why static numbers fail + how to price against flexible ranges instead.
📦 50% US-Canada Tariffs: The overnight shift + what Canada's response means for your landed costs.
🚢 Panama Canal Squeeze: Why you'll want to lock in your carrier rates before mid-September.
🔒 Cyber Risk Real Talk: Using the Uber Freight breach as a helpful reminder to review vendor security + protect your data.

Sometimes, growing pains = proof of progress. 🚀
When you start out as a 3PL, spreadsheets + basic inventory tools get the job done. But as you sign more accounts, pick up speed, + fill out your floor space, those entry-level tools naturally start to show their limits.

If your team is:
👉 Rekeying orders into multiple systems
👉 Double-checking counts because orders are moving too fast
👉 Spending hours pulling client invoices
… it may be a sign your 3PL is ready for the next stage of growth. Swipe through to check the 7 biggest signs your warehouse is ready to step up to the next level (and if you answered no to all signs, then you may be already using CartonCloud! 🙈)

POV: a truck rolls in and your whole team already knows it's coming 🚛👀

That's Dock Management, our new add-on that turns dock scheduling into a live, connected part of your warehouse!

Every warehouse with a dock knows this feeling. Another truck arrives, and nobody radioed ahead.

We built Dock Management to fix that. It's a live dock schedule connected to CartonCloud. Carriers book their own delivery slots, your floor sees arrivals in real time, + drivers check themselves in.

Whether you're running one dock or twenty across multiple sites, it's one schedule, always up to date.

Dock Management is available now! See how it works here:

Bring clarity to your dock. Carriers book their own slots, drivers check in, and arrivals are visible in real time, connected to CartonCloud.
