WEEK
2 DISCUSSION POST
Insurance,
Injuries, and Last Mile Delivery Drivers
It is important for managers to
be acquainted with the work of front-line employees to understand how all of
the parts work together to create efficient processes. Drivers and journalists have posted accounts of what it is like to deliver
packages. We must also consider the larger picture: parcel delivery companies and their last mile delivery services. There have
been lawsuits and OSHA incidents with which to contend.
The week’s background readings provide recent articles on
insurance issues, injuries, and associated legal disputes. Find at least one
other recent resource for support. For your post:
- Discuss the implication of these legal trends in last mile
logistics.
- Based on research, provide information on two top legal issues
(other than employee vs. gig worker status) facing last mile delivery.
- Using the resource beyond this week’s
readings, provide a real-world example of a U.S.-based company that is looking
to address the legal implications. (The article should be less than two
years old.)

LOG 302 Module 2 Case Assignment
Third-Party
Logistics, Partnerships and In-House Services
While companies that serve local
or regional markets may utilize in-house delivery resources,
most businesses use third-party logistics (3PL) or engage in partnerships. Some of the larger players in online and omnichannel retail have acquired or built their own networks for B2C delivery and train workers for the future. Manufacturers and intermediary goods producers face a series of different obstacles in their B2B logistics in the domestic market. Readings for this assignment provide a broad perspective on today’s distribution channels.
Case Assignment
- Research the pros and cons of logistics delivery choices: from the
perspective of cost, supply chain integration, and competitive advantage
for Business to Business (B2B).
This portion of the paper will be 1 page in length. - Research the pros and cons of logistics delivery choices from the
perspective of cost and customer service for Business to Consumer (B2C).
This portion of the paper will be 1 page in length. - Research the cost and logistical
implications of last mile delivery. (Human resource and legal aspects of
last mile delivery that were addressed in the Discussion should not be included.)
This portion of the paper will be 1 page in length
Resources should be no more than
three years old for this case because the industry is changing rapidly and the
goal is to remain relevant throughout your career.
LOG 302 Module 2 SLP Assignment
Mode
of Domestic Transportation in Logistics
Road, rail, marine,
and air transport in U.S. logistics have been the main options.
Today, newer technologies have expanded each of the categories beyond the usual
alternatives. The Department of Transportation approved driverless technology for local delivery. The possibility of 30-minute delivery calls for the use of robots and drones. Some other tech is being patented and might be realized in the
future. Other companies are looking at delivery robots. Even low-tech ideas like “cargo bikes” are being used in large cities.
SLP Assignment
- Beginning with the background readings to provide a foundation,
create a bullet list of the pros and cons of domestic road, rail, marine,
and air transport in logistics. (Citations are required.)
The list should be one, single-spaced page in length. - Using research beyond the lecture and
readings, provide two real-world examples of novel modes of delivery being
used, tested, or proposed and how they could affect the industry regarding
technology, workers, customer service, costs, etc.
The discussion for each new technology should be three-quarters of a page in length.
Resources should be no more than
three years old for this case because the industry is changing rapidly, and the
goal is to remain relevant throughout your career.
