The release of the latest Transporeon Group carrier survey provides a real-world carrier perspective that exposes the issues causing carrier capacity challenges across trucking, logistics and the supply chain industry today.
"2018 is proving to be as challenging for shippers and carriers as the second half of 2017 since carriers are reporting capacity utilization rates of 95% and higher," said Florian Dussler, managing director and vice president Americas at Transporeon Group. "In 2017, the upcoming ELD mandate, driver shortages, chaotic weather, a strong economy and increased manufacturing output combined to put the highest demands on capacity in years."
