## **Perfect Storm Preparation Center**

### **Get access to exclusive interviews with leaders in the supply chain industry.**

It’s apparent now that we’re entering a tough time for managing supply chains. Spot rates hit a two year high, JB Hunt recently warned customers to prepare for 10% increases, and there's no sign of relief.

That's why we hosted a webinar in conjunction with NASSTRAC on Tuesday, November 14, featuring a host of experts to help you navigate the storm.

We also interviewed people who can shed light on the situation and offer advice, such as:

- Derek Leathers, the CEO of Werner Enterprises
- Yossi Sheffi, the Director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics
- And many more - see the full list below

**If you're a shipper, sign up here to access these resources that will help you understand the situation and manage it well.**
