FreightWaves—Trucking is in the midst of a digital transformation, and with such a transformation comes the need for real-time data so freight efficiency across a range of metrics can be maximized. Blockchain technology is quickly being recognized as a possible answer to this industry’s fragmented supply chain.
Supply Chain Trends
Forbes—Few industries or business functions are experiencing as much disruption as logistics, supply chain and transportation. According to a recent Forbes Insights survey of more than 400 senior transportation-focused executives, 65% say tectonic shifts in these areas are driving an era of profound transformation.
Logistics Management—As mobility continues to enhance nearly all supply chain activities, the availability of more real-time data at a lower cost will push more operations forward. As this trend continues to evolve, expect to see a wider swath of shippers tapping into the power of what improved mobility offers.
Manufacturing
Transportation
Supply & Demand Chain Executive—Hurricane Florence may trigger more volatility in the freight market, especially if it makes landfall at the predicted Category 4 strength. Spot rates and capacity in the freight market are predicted to see the most upheaval.
Trucks—The last mile of the delivery process is seeing all kinds of changes, especially when it comes to smaller items. Now, those last steps into a consumer’s kitchen or living room for big, bulky items are being addressed as well. Transportation and logistics experts are working aggressively toward increasing the speed, flexibility and transparency associated with the delivery of larger items.
Education & Professional Development
Workforce
The Wall Street Journal—The impact would come over 25 years, with projections for lighter job loss seen than other forecasts, but higher-paying trucking work could take a hit.
