Marek Różycki (Last Mile Experts) and I preview our seminar and workshop at Parcel+Post Expo this year, including:

• The advantage of being first PUDO or locker network
• What is holding back the development of some PUDO networks

Dean Maciuba, Director of Consulting Services at Logistics Trends & Insights, joins me to discuss the world of heavy parcel delivery, with a focus on FedEx Freight Direct:

• What is FedEx Freight Direct? What sort of vehicles are being used for delivery of heavy or bulky parcels?
• Size and weight limits compared to FedEx’s standard Ground and Express limits
• One person delivery or two person delivery?
• Premium delivery services
• What kind of consumer goods are being shipped?
• Competitors in this market
• What’s driving the need for residential delivery of heavy parcels or freight?
• Wayfair’s intentions in delivery… including its own logistics network
