David Myers

David began his career in mailing and small package logistics in the mid-’90 as a manager with the U.S. Postal Service’s marketing team. A former community newspaper publisher, David decided to leave the post office in 2000 for the more creative pastures of online publishing and web development.

In 2006, Doug Caldwell (David’s former boss at the Postal Service) recruited David to join ParcelPool.com / ParcelResearch.com as a research analyst. They quickly realized that intensive data mining, deep analysis, cleaning and organizing highly dimensional data were among the primary components necessary to obtain the clearest understanding of international small parcel logistics.

In 2008, Doug and Dave took the research side of the business solo to focus on global small package shipping, transportation networks, pricing and market share.

In 2010, David played a key role in achieving multimillion dollar rate reductions in the global small parcel carrier agreements for a major multinational shipper. The multifaceted, fourteen month project encompassed benchmarking, RFP preparation, package-level detail analysis, intensive data mining, organization and analysis, and simultaneous negotiations with five major small package carriers.

Building on business processes that resulted in such dramatic cost reductions in the shipper's global small parcel spend, David is currently fine-tuning Parcel Research's global small parcel rating engine and routing guide to replicate similar cost reductions for shippers with significant international small package shipping operations.
