  • What Can Be Written About the Challenges Facing the U.S. Trucking
    2008 TRUCKING PERSPECTIVES What can be written about the challenges facing the U.S. trucking industry that hasn’t already been chewed up and steamrolled over countless times? Rising fuel prices, green equipment mandates, shifting truckload (TL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) demands, mode competition, excessive capacity, and end-user demands have carriers checking their side-view mirrors for lost business, assets, and competitors discarded along the way. For an economy inherently tied to over-the-road commerce, these objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. Numerous failures, including Alvan Motor Freight and Jevic Transportation, have cast a pall over the trucking industry at large. But with time, distance, and perspective, carriers are managing these challenges and turning their attention to what lies ahead, chasing the tail lights of a sputtering economic engine that is showing signs of turning over. What hasn’t already terminally stalled truckers is making them leaner, greener, and better prepared for a return to normalcy. by Joseph O’Reilly September 2008 • Inbound Logistics Stateside shippers and consignees navigate a less FIGURE 1 Reported Increases in predictable and potentially ominous road.
