How quickly could your logistics operation respond if shipping rates suddenly jumped 20% or carrier capacity was cut?

EasyPost’s 2026 Peak Readiness Index surveyed 141 logistics professionals to find out, and the results show a significant preparedness gap.

- 33% of respondents have tested a response plan and feel confident they could adapt.

- 35% have a plan but haven’t tested it.

- 23% would need to develop a plan from scratch.

- 8% haven’t considered the scenario at all.

That means nearly two-thirds of logistics teams either haven’t tested their contingency plan or don’t have one.

If you’re in that boat, a good starting point is to run a simple rate-hike or capacity-cut scenario: identify which carriers, lanes, and shipments would be most affected, then determine what you’d change and who owns each decision.

Annual carrier rate increases get plenty of attention, but they’re not the biggest reason shipping costs are rising. Surcharges are often the real culprit.

Thankfully, your logistics team has more control over surcharges than you might realize.

Additional handling, dimensional, and delivery-area fees often stem from decisions made upstream—like oversized packaging, product dimensions, or carrier defaults.

The best way to lower costs is to identify recurring surcharges, trace them back to their source, and fix the decisions driving them.

Read the full article for tips, tricks, and strategies to reduce shipping costs:

The general rate increase isn't why your shipping costs climb. Learn to trace surcharges back to the decisions behind them.
