The Benefits of Shared Transportation & Supply Chain Networks

As savvy logistics management professionals are painfully aware, the freight transportation market is currently walking a tightrope.

For most of the past year, we’ve witnessed a brief lull in the ever-rising logistics costs due to the confluence of one-time factors, including bloated inventories, a strong U.S. dollar hampering exports, and a sudden surge in extra truckload capacity.
