CALIFORNIA HOME TO SEVEN OF THE NATION’S TOP TRUCK BOTTLENECKS

The analysis, based on truck GPS data from nearly 1 million heavy duty trucks uses several customized software applications and analysis methods, along with terabytes of data from trucking operations to produce a congestion impact ranking for each location.
