Overview: The freight transportation industry has undergone a revolutionary change during the last decade. As deregulation spread to all modes of transport, the number of surviving companies declined. Successful transportation companies must provide prompt pickup, excellent customer service, and swift, complete and damage-free delivery. The motor carrier industry forges a critical link in a multi-modal logistics system and must compete against time and service to stay in business. Shippers move cargo over whatever mode provides the best service. Less-than-truckload (LTL) motor carriers find their competition particularly stiff. Parcel carriers constantly increase their maximum shipment weight while truckload carriers now accept partial trailer loads as small as 10,000 pounds. All this and more details are contained inside the article.
