S20E28: Did UPS Outgrow Amazon?

UPS posted a surprise beat and a bold turnaround. Jenny Rae and Namaan break down where the 34,000+ cuts land, why Amazon volume fell 21 percent, and how route consolidation, asset light moves, and small business focus could reshape holiday shipping. 

We also cover tariffs and the de minimis change, plus why supply chain consulting is set to boom.
