Increase Throughput and Optimize Processes in the Trucking Industry

Industry trends such as increasing costs, carrier consolidation, and sustainability are currently at the forefront of the trucking industry and leaders are in search of solutions to solve these issues. Solutions that help increase throughput, enhance productivity, optimize processes, reduce costs, and promote sustainability are needed to become innovators in this industry.

Trucking Industry Challenges

Across the trucking industry, four key challenges remain constant:

• Labor – As freight demand increases along with throughput pressures, the lack of labor capacity can’t meet these needs. Minimize downtime to keep your workforce productive, utilize advanced ergonomic lift truck solutions to improve employee satisfaction, minimize risk, and increase awareness using operator assist systems to address this issue.
• Regulations – Regulations are increasing due to the government and the Food Modernization Safety Act, leading to increased costs and a need for greater supply chain visibility. Operators need solutions that help optimize traceability and a management program that reduces administrative costs.
• High Costs – Costs are increasing across almost every facet of the trucking industry. Warehouses can reduce administrative burden and extend equipment life by using solutions that right-size your fleet and incorporate the use of Big Data. 
• Sustainability – Local, state, and federal regulations are putting an increased emphasis on emission reduction and green initiatives. Consumers expectations are also evolving to put more pressure on the industry. Effective sustainable solutions include clean power sources and minimizing waste.
