Welcome back to the FreightWaves Community Spotlight! In today's episode, host Kaylee Nix is joined by Grace Sharkey after her whirlwind travels. They dive into the pulse of the industry following Manifest, the kickoff to conference season. Transitioning seamlessly, they explore the timely topic of theft prevention in retail, focusing on the role of RFID technology. Grace provides insights into the deployment of RFID on a massive scale, its impact on inventory management, and its effectiveness in curbing theft. They discuss the potential expenses involved and whether these costs are justifiable, pondering if they might be passed down to consumers. Later, they tease the upcoming show, delving into shipper expectations for 2024 and the ongoing market fluctuations.
