Transportation and logistics management companies keep the economy moving. Many carriers have enjoyed strong returns in recent years – yet face complex challenges today. Heavy requirements for infrastructure investment, the slowing economy, particularly the housing market, changing supply chains, and continuing capital requirements continue to test transportation and logistics companies. Competition within segments and across segments remains very aggressive.
