trucking industry solutions

for when you are driving the supply chain

The trucking industry faces high volumes and tight capacity. These extreme labor shortages and pent-up demands continue to create challenges, especially with 12 truckloads to every truck driver. And the challenges don't stop there.

  • Deliveries can be physically demanding and labor-intensive.
  • Surges in freight demand and the desire for faster deliveries continue to increase while the supply of commercial truck drivers falls, forcing higher shipping rates.
  • The Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate dramatically reduces the number of hours truckers can
    drive; failure to adhere can result in stiff penalties and fines.
  • The desire for greater sustainability increases the emphasis on emission reduction and other green initiatives.
