Uploaded: Nov 4, 2020, 10:56 AM EST

The latest episode of JOC Uncharted, available at 11 a.m. Eastern, features a discussion with John Janson, logistics director of SanMar. US importers and shippers need to engage more deeply with their transportation and logistics suppliers as well as their customers as they face fresh waves of supply disruption and uncertainty. That’s the message John Janson, global logistics director for US apparel importer SanMar, delivers as he sees supply chains leap from crisis to crisis. In an interview with JOC senior editor William B. Cassidy, Janson describes how the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt everything from ocean freight scheduling to small-package delivery, and how shippers can protect their businesses and prepare for disruption that may come in 2021. Eric Johnson, senior editor at JOC/IHS Markit, will provide the JOC Uncharted weekly commentary. For more information on all current and future episodes, please CLICK HERE .
