A new report from Breakthrough stated that the next 12 months could be shaping up well for shippers, with looser freight capacity and carriers looking to strengthen their transportation contracts with key partners. There also remains intense interest in utilizing electric or alternative energy vehicles among shippers. Among the results, 59% of transportation leaders predict freight capacity will be more available over the next 12 months, and 70% say strengthening their contracts with current partners is a key focus area. The leaders overwhelmingly agree (94%) that consumer demand for more sustainable products is increasing, making efforts to reduce emissions a priority. Of shippers surveyed, 99% agree that they would take advantage of electric or alternative vehicles if carriers offered them. |
