And now with labor and supply-chain bottlenecks, the situation has digressed.

The critical nature of shipping perishables has left many asking if there are any alternatives to the UPS/FedEx duopoly.

This is why today, Blaine and I want to introduce you to the world of regional carriers.

In this episode, we'll discuss how regional couriers stack-up to against the national alternatives in the following areas:

  • On-time deliverability
