Description:
The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), an international, supply chain-focused organization composed of over 8,500 members, publishes an annual report, the State of Logistics Report, which is considered one of the most important
reports in the goods movement and freight logistics industry. The State of Logistics Report provides an overview of current goods movement and freight logistics trends, and also discusses the current freight volumes and economic health of the various freight
transportation mode industries. Understanding the current “lay of the land” in the goods movement and freight logistics industry can help both public and private sector transportation organizations better understand current and possible future freight transportation
planning needs. It can also provide insights into the business aspects of freight transportation, information typically not available to or examined by many public sector freight transportation professionals. Finally, when examined in concert with transportation
infrastructure needs, it can help government sector transportation officials gain better understanding of the impact infrastructure investment, or lack thereof, can have on supply chain operations and ultimately business sustainability.
This webinar will provide information on the current state of freight logistics in the United States, including some information about recent freight transportation trends. It will also examine current freight transportation infrastructure
needs, and how supply chain companies need to balance freight transportation demand trends with freight infrastructure availability and quality.
