In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton welcomes back Supply Chain Dive senior reporter Max Garland for a fast-paced look at the biggest logistics stories shaping Q4 2025. Max breaks down the latest peak season surcharges, noting how FedEx, UPS, and Amazon are raising fees while newer players like U-Speed and GoBolt are winning business with “no-fee” strategies. He also shares how shippers can protect margins through early planning and carrier diversification. The conversation continues with updates on Amazon Shipping’s growing market share, UPS’s first-ever driver buyouts, and the widespread impact of the de minimis rule’s repeal, which has cost brands like Lululemon hundreds of millions. They wrap with coverage of the Canada Post strike, exploring what it means for holiday deliveries and why U.S. shippers should take note. Insightful, data-driven, and timely, this episode offers practical takeaways for supply chain professionals heading into peak season.
