Founded more than 80 years ago, Barrett Distribution Centers gets up to speed in managing inventory for fulfilling e-commerce orders, thanks to the use of autonomous drones.

Through the service, Sendle offers to deliver packages anywhere in the U.S. in two business days or less.

UPS said that the five-year agreement covers U.S. Teamsters-represented employees in small package roles and is subject to ratification by union members.

There is no way to avoid it: the trucking and freight industries are in a recession, with no clear visibility as to when business will rebound.

There’s a revolution coming to the freight industry in the form of artificial intelligence, but what does that actually mean?

In this environment, for retailers to compete, they need to give customers a full menu of delivery options to fit their preferences at the point of purchase, each and every time.

The "final mile" benefits from the collaboration of artificial intelligence and machine learning and optimized data, says Mathew Witte, senior vice president at Ortec.

The last mile of the supply chain has become a defining aspect of modern retail. Businesses can transform their supply chain operations by harnessing the power of AI.

FedEx has trailed UPS on profit margins even though its larger rival has a unionized workforce and pays its drivers more.

Artificial intelligence has a valuable role to play in optimizing delivery networks around the globe, says Niklas Hedin, chief executive officer of Centiro.
