Walmart first started experimenting with drone deliveries in the Dallas-Forth Worth region in 2021, before expanding the service to cover 75% of the region in early 2024. 

OneRail says the acquisition will allow its last-mile delivery network to use Orderbot's inventory and order management systems to speed up fulfillment. 

A lawsuit from the Trucking Association of New York filed on May 30 claimed the tolls were unfairly targeting delivery trucks with the highest rates.

Amazon will expand the area it services with drones in Texas, and will start integrating such shipments into its same-day delivery network this year.

Supply chain consulting firm MWPVL International estimates that Amazon is planning for at least 170 new distribution facilities in the U.S. alone.

Commercial cargo vans and pickup trucks made up 90% of all BEV deliveries, 95% of which came from Ford and Rivian.

Out of 8,000 consumers surveyed, 63% said they took some sort of negative action after encountering delivery problems.

Nearly half of consumers surveyed said that they would be unlikely to purchase an item if the delivery time was too slow.

Opportunities to share shipping lanes can encourage the unlikeliest of partners to put aside competitive differences for a supply chain win-win.
