2019 ANNUAL REVIEW & OUTLOOK
82 Government
Trucker hours rule
moves to foreground
US regulators focus on possible changes
to HOS rules to restore lost flexibility.
Certain uncertainty
The trade community is bracing for another
rocky year of potential US policy changes.
92 Surface Transportation
Capacity pressure eases, slowly
Shippers should find it easier to get a truck
this year, as US economic growth moderates,
but supply chain complexities will keep
pressure on capacity.
The quest for new drivers
Pay hikes, training, and apprenticeships
are geared for new generation
of blue-collar workers.
Resetting supply chain clocks
Shippers need to manage hours, not just
assets, to create additional truck capacity.
Space exploration
Technology's true value for shippers is finding
capacity where they didn't know it existed.
114 Logistics
Where technology meets pricing
Global 3PLs in a race with start-ups to deliver
greater visibility and dynamic pricing
to customers.
Real estate's tight quarters
With space at a premium, shippers
are willing to pay more for warehousing
closer to population centers.
136 Air Cargo
Online giants tighten the reins
Explosive demand is spurring e-sellers
to build their own air cargo capacity.
