Abstract

The transport and logistics industry was one of the most hit sectors during the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. For transport and logistic managers, who experienced the emergence of globalization, the evolution of just-in-time supply chain and the rise of e-commerce, the pandemic can be considered as a crucial challenge. Birshan (2020) found that the transport and logistics sector suffered more than the average economy. However, it also seems that the transport and logistics sector was able to cope with these changes – and the companies’ and its managers reacted quickly and found ways to adapt to these situations.
