Book Synopsis The Freight Story by : Harry Caldwell
Download or read book The Freight Story written by Harry Caldwell. This book was released on 2002. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although efforts to improve freight transportation efficiency and reliability have been successful, the U.S. transportation system is now facing challenges that, unless addressed, may jeopardize its reliability. Allowing transportation system reliability to erode would add additional pressure to U.S. companies operating in an increasingly competitive international market and place more burdens on communities seeking to sustain their economic base and quality of life. Improved logistics has thus far been able to address the corrosive effects of the loss of system reliability. Unfortunately, the ability of logistics to provide additional offsetting savings appears to be nearing its limit, as are the savings attributable to deregulation. Unless these challenges are addressed, more discretionary income will be devoted to moving materials and products, businesses will be constrained in their adoption of innovative strategies to maintain global competitiveness, quality of life-as measured by congestion-will suffer, and safety and security could be jeopardized.

Book Synopsis Freight in America: a New National Picture by : U. S. Department Transportation
Download or read book Freight in America: a New National Picture written by U. S. Department Transportation. This book was released on 2012-11-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to new estimated by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics of the US Department of Transportation's Research and Innovative Technology Administration and the Federal Highway Administration, over 19 billion tons of freight, valued at $13 trillion, was carried over 4.4 trillion ton-miles in the US in 2002. This means that on a typical day in the US in 2002, about 53 million tons of goods valued at about $36 billion moved nearly 12 billion ton-miles on the national multimodal transportation network. The new estimates combine data from the Commodity Flow Survey - the most comprehensive nationwide source of freight data - and data from other sources to provide the most complete picture of freight movement in America yet available. This report discussed the resulting composite estimates, using 2002, the year of the latest CFS, as the baseline. It also discusses more recent data for specific modes, the geography of freight movements in the US, and the growing importance of international trade to the US freight transportation system.
