Future Directions in Transportation

All manufacturing enterprises rely on the transportation sector to bring in raw materials and/or send finished products to customers. Preferred carrier programs at many large firms will accelerate the growth and consolidation of the very large carriers. With this consolidation many of the smaller, marginally profitable carriers will disappear. The Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) segment will also further consolidate, and the remaining large LTL carriers will expand their service offerings into the long haul segment.

Small carriers, localized carriers, and boutique carriers that specialize on certain markets, or that provide specialized hardware will thrive. The current driver shortage, and other environmental considerations will shift increasing amount of freight on to inter-modal and other rail based haulers.
