My family and I spent more than a week in Costa Rica, where everyone greets you with “Pura Vida,” which means “Pure Life” in Spanish. Back at work, getting caught up on all of the supply chain and logistics news from the past two weeks. New Transportation Solutions from project44 and Kuebix. I’m back from vacation.

Costa Rica, Mexico, and Colombia came in fourth, fifth, and sixth, respectively (behind Malaysia).

Transportation.
