Thank you to the team at @USDOT for their efforts in pushing forward the Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) program that is a “first-of-its-kind initiative to share information and help move goods more quickly and cheaply,” said @SecretaryPete.
Today, we're hosting major supply chain companies to collaborate on a data sharing effort that will help companies be more nimble and react to bottlenecks in real time.
This means lower costs for families and more goods on shelves. reuters.com/markets/us/us-wo…
