For all the effort, ingenuity, and resources shippers put into cutting costs and streamlining operations, there are always savings opportunities found in logistics statistics hidden somewhere in the supply chain. The key (and the challenge) is knowing where to look.

And where, exactly, is that? That largely depends on what, where and when you ship, but there are some clues out there that can help you take the first step in the right direction.
