Overview: Transportation logistics is the art and science of managing trade. It makes sure the trucks, ships, planes, and trains arrive on time and at the right place; it finesses the crossings of borders and massages the "Events" that inevitably occur in such a vast and fragile enterprise. Logistics has become a highly evolved part of any distribution network. It has become so vital and complex, in fact, that a new breed of independent transportation managers - Third-Party Providers (3PLs) - exist simply to handle the logistical needs of other companies. This paper examines changes occurring in the character and culture of the transportation industry and how these changes are likely to affect the way the industry views its work environment.
