CPG gross margins show signs of bottoming

FreightWaves’ The Stockout podcast focuses on CPG companies and their supply chains. Consumer packaged goods, or CPG, are the products we buy over and over again like food, beverages, cosmetics, cleaning supplies and other household products. The Stockout podcast explores the issues and complexities of the freight-intensive CPG industry while leveraging data from the FreightWaves SONAR data platform.
