SCD: UPS, FedEx fuel surcharge hikes to heat up delivery prices
SUPPLY CHAIN DIVE reports: FedEx and UPS’ index-based fuel surcharges are adjusted weekly based on prices ...
Mark Solomon writes: “The keys to UPS Inc.’s fastest-growing and arguably its most pivotal 21st century business have been handed to an outsider. Earlier this week, Philippe Gilbert took the reins as the first president of the company’s Supply Chain and Freight operation, one of the Atlanta-based company’s three business units. (UPS’ domestic U.S. and international package units have long had presidents.) Gilbert joined UPS from the German firm DB Schenker Logistics, where he ran its 10-country Americas region. He reports to COO Jim Barber, himself an odds-on favorite to be the next CEO of UPS should David Abney, the current chairman and CEO, retire later this year as many UPS-watchers expect.”
