In this week’s episode of This Week in Logistics, CartonCloud CEO Shaun Hagen breaks down the moment logistics shifts from a cost problem to a continuity problem.
Following the US–NATO blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, fuel markets have moved beyond volatility into potential supply disruption — with diesel shortages already emerging in Australia and New Zealand.
This isn’t just a geopolitical story, it’s an operational one.
Because what we’re seeing now is a system becoming:

This week we cover:
• Why fuel has shifted from a pricing issue to a physical supply constraint• How surcharges are now hitting every layer of the network at different speeds• What Amazon’s fuel surcharge signals about downstream cost pressure• Why the FedEx Freight spin-off points to a faster, simpler operating model
If you operate in transport, warehousing, or logistics, this is the moment to shift your thinking:
