Freight transportation is the economy's circulatory system. The American
trucking industry moves 93% of the surface freight and is the engine that
drives the nation's $481 Billion annual freight machine. Tucker believes
that although the largest trucking companies get all the media coverage, the
country's 100,000 plus trucking firms are American small business at its
best.
The company also stated: "Releasing freight 3PLs from regulatory oblivion
was a necessary catalyst in this performance. From almost 0% in 1980,
freight 3PLs of various types, including the trucking firm's own in house
brokering to other carriers, probably arrange 50% of long haul and intercity
trucking. The resulting choices and expertise is the major driver of
savings and quality control for the shipper-customer. The resulting
availability of real time freight information and quality and the speed and
safety of payment keeps most truckers viable and in the black. Prior to
1980 most trucks in the country were running about 40% to 50% empty miles.
Today if they are not less than 10% empty they're bankrupt and just haven't
noticed yet. 'Goodbye' The vigorous participation of increasingly
sophisticated 3PLs is a necessary ingredient to have achieved and to
maintain this market state."
World Business Review may also be viewed on PBS The Business & Technology
