5 Great Industry Infographics; Top 25 LTL Carriers 2013; July Figures From Georgia Logistics

With Chris gallivanting around on holiday in Menorca the honour of writing this week’s newsletter has been passed on to me! Hopefully I can come close to the quality you’re used to every week.

We kick off with our monthly round up of figures from Georgia Logistics, and eft’s first article from G-Force Shipping & Consulting – a ranking of the Top 25 LTL Carriers from 2013. Both of these provide some interesting and surprising statistics that are definitely worth taking a look at.

Svetlana Guineva from Cerasis has compiled 5 great infographics from the trucking industry. The first infographic; “American Truckers” covers a wide range of topics including driver demographics and industry fuel consumption. “Trucking Industry Facts” strips the industry down to the bone and provides the “raw facts in terms of revenue and operational costs”. And the final infographic “Bright Future for Truckers & Freight Brokers” speculates as to where the industry will move in the next 4 years, whilst also boasting some “interestingly amusing facts”. 

eft and Hexaware are also collaborating to bring you a complimentary webinar on the digitization & automation of your freight settlement processes, and how it can add 3-7% to your net margin. Taking place at 11am EDT on August 6th,  it will be led by Hexaware’s industry thought leaders Naval Sabharwal – Global Head – Transportation & Logistics and Bennet Kumar – Practice Leader, and Kusha Garg – Supply Chain Solution Consultant – both of which will be happy to take your questions during and after the webinar. You can sign up here.

Kind Regards,
