Above the Fold: Supply Chain Logistics News (October 2, 2026)

By Adrian Gonzalez

The days are getting shorter.

There are still 24 hours in each one, but the split between daylight and darkness is shifting, with darkness gaining a few minutes each day.

The mornings are getting cooler too.

Leaves are starting to cover my lawn, and the singing birds that visit my yard each morning are gone.

It’s October.

The year is three-quarters past, and a new one is on the horizon.

I will spend most of this month on airplanes and hotels. First Chicago, then Berlin, Maryland, Barcelona, and Seattle — the latter three will be back-to-back.

I won’t know what day or time it is until early November. By then, the days will be even shorter, and the mornings even cooler, and there will be fewer leaves on my trees.

And the birds?

They’ll be singing elsewhere, their songs carried in the wind.

Moving on, here is the supply chain and logistics news that caught my attention this week:

I’ll be heading to the airport soon, and I still need to finish packing, so I’ll share my commentary next week — which I’ll probably write from 33,000 feet above.

And with that, have a meaningful weekend.
