Formando al Futuro de la Logística

En este episodio de Supply Chain Now en español, hablamos de un programa que está revolucionando la forma en la que los jóvenes se integran al mundo laboral: Jóvenes con Entrega, una poderosa colaboración entre International Youth Foundation (IYF) y FedEx, que no solo enseña logística, sino que transforma vidas. Nuestra invitada, María Esquivelzeta, socióloga y gerente de programas en IYF, nos cuenta cómo este proyecto ha capacitado a cientos de jóvenes en México y América Latina con habilidades técnicas y socioemocionales que los preparan para destacar en uno de los sectores con mayor crecimiento: la logística y la cadena de suministro. Desde simuladores tipo “Duolingo logístico”, hasta formación en liderazgo, trabajo en equipo y comunicación efectiva, Jóvenes con Entrega es mucho más que un curso: es una puerta de entrada al futuro. Además, escuchamos a Dulce, una exalumna que con solo 18 años ya trabaja formalmente en una farmacéutica gracias a lo aprendido en el programa.

Analysis of the U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index – Q3 2025

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott Luton and Kim Reuter welcome Bobby Holland, Vice President/Director of Freight Business Analytics at U.S. Bank, and Heather Shilt, Director, Global Logistics at Fortive, to unpack Q3 2025 findings from the U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index, one of the industry’s most referenced trucking indicators, informed by tens of billions in transactions. The panel explores why volumes are down even as costs rise, how tariffs and manufacturing softness are reshaping regional performance, and where rate pressure and capacity tightness are showing up first. Together, they dig into nine key takeaways from the national and regional views (West, Southwest, Midwest, Northeast, Southeast): most significant sequential gains in the West in four years, persistent softness in the Southwest, and mixed signals elsewhere as consumer demand, housing starts, and labor dynamics tug the market in different directions. From shipper playbooks (carrier-mix depth, lane-level cost vigilance, and alternate modes) to practical watch-outs for Q4 and early 2026, this data-driven conversation equips operators to trend, plan, and pressure-test their assumptions in a volatile environment. This episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Kim Reuter, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda, and Amanda Luton.   Additional Links…
