Truckers Wary of New York Deliveries Create Headache for Grocers

A March 25 report from the Supply Chain Analysis Network, a state of the industry report compiled by experts in the field, noted a “particular concern related to the grocery supply chain serving the City of New York.” While the report said “the grocery supply chain should be able to sustain and enhance flows,” it found that truckers “have been much more likely to reject offers to deliver” to the New York metropolitan area.
