April 2022 Dinner Meeting
Dave Earle will discuss current challenges (and opportunities) in the trucking / logistics industry. From the perennial labour shortage to the impact of floods and COVID, to the opportunities presented by de-carbonization and new technology, Dave will provide insight into how these trends affect local businesses in Langley. Join us and learn:
- What the current state and outlook for the movement of goods in the Fraser Valley is
- How to deal with obstacles and differentiate goods in a constricted market
- What new technology exists – and what doesn’t
