We added an August survey to the mix, and the results in this issue are from that survey. Watch for more survey results from Morgan Stanley — a global financial services firm and a market leader in securities, investment management and credit services which analyzes the results for its investors and shares relevant results with PARCEL subscribers. We thank all of those who take time to fill out the surveys as well as Morgan Stanley. And watch for surveys that come to your inbox as we track trends throughout the year. One such survey is included in this issue: Tim Sailor, President of Navigo, analyzed a survey we did on shipping & handling fees in conjunction with Traffic World.
