Nafta, Motor Carriers And Highway Safety, Kathryn Dobie, William A. Cunningham
Nafta, Motor Carriers And Highway Safety, Kathryn Dobie, William A. Cunningham
Journal of Transportation Management
The signing of the NAFTA agreement signaled the beginning of increased efforts to harmonize trade between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Unfortunately the harmonization of transportation links is lagging far behind proposed implementation dates. This narrative describes the highway safety, and concerns expressed by highway safety advocates and Teamsters union representatives, and documented by the GAO. The authors propose a market based alternative to restricting transborder traffic to the narrow commercial zone presently in place.
What Is A Logistics Analyst? A Perspective From One British University On Increasing Student Awareness And Knowledge Of Logistics Education And Career Opportunities, John Dinwoodie
Journal of Transportation Management
Many sophomore Transport students at a British university were unfamiliar with the role of the logistics analyst. This paper discusses the current extent of student knowledge of some employment roles within intermodal distribution and the processes by which students acquire an understanding of it,providing new information for logistics teachers and career advisors. Qualitative analysis of student descriptions of relevant roles revealed a schema whereby concepts evolved, enabling a teaching package to be devised which accelerated the learning process. The assistance of practitioners, and similar studies by other academics are needed in attempting to raise the awareness of future students.
The Impact Of Downsizing On Logistics Performance And Employees In Shipper Firms, Ronald D. Anderson, Roger E. Jerman, Michael R. Crum
The Impact Of Downsizing On Logistics Performance And Employees In Shipper Firms, Ronald D. Anderson, Roger E. Jerman, Michael R. Crum
Journal of Transportation Management
Firms that downsize hope to achieve improvements in performance and to avoid adverse impacts on employees. This article compares the changes in logistics performance and logistics employee fulfillment for shippers that have downsized with those that have not. Two major conclusions of this research are: (1) Respondent firms that have downsized perceive that they have substantially improved their logistics performance, but no more so than respondent firms that have not downsized; and (2) Stress, morale, and loyalty have worsened for logistics employees in downsized respondent firms, both in an absolute sense and relative to respondent firms that have not downsized.
The Jones Act: It Is Time For Reform, Richard L. Clarke
The Jones Act: It Is Time For Reform, Richard L. Clarke
Journal of Transportation Management
The Jones Act was passed in 1920 as an amendment to the Merchant Marine Act. Its initial purpose was to protect a rail monopoly operating between the state of Washington and the territory of Alaska. It restricted transportation between U.S. ports to U.S. built, owned, registered and crewed vessels. Over the past 77 years it has become very controversial. This paper examines its costs and benefits and concludes that the Jones Act is indeed in need of major reform.
Characteristics Of The Market For International Airfreight In Intermodal Logistics, Forrest E. Harding
Characteristics Of The Market For International Airfreight In Intermodal Logistics, Forrest E. Harding
Journal of Transportation Management
Shipper insights and opinions regarding the characteristics of the market for international airfreight in intermodal logistics were explored in this study. The methodology utilized was focus group research. The findings suggest that shippers’ intermodal airfreight decisions are driven by weight and time sensitivity; that the strength of an organization’s information system, especially in relation to tracking and tracing capabilities, is the most important category of service; that shippers respond very positively to personalized service; and that shipper selection of integrators and/or freight forwarders is destination specific. The research confirms the increasing competitiveness of the intermodal logistics market and suggests that …
The Investment And Marketing Of Transload Facilities: A Statistical Evaluation, Barton Jennings, Mary Collins Holcomb
The Investment And Marketing Of Transload Facilities: A Statistical Evaluation, Barton Jennings, Mary Collins Holcomb
Journal of Transportation Management
This paper examines the basic relationships which shippers, carriers, and facility operators have developed in the design and operation of bulk intermodal facilities, or transload terminals. The analysis is based on 349 truck-served transload facilities throughout the United States. The facilities are examined for commodity types being handled and the types of handling equipment being used. The results demonstrate a strong relationship between certain handling procedures and commodity types. Additionally, the size and volume of the facilities are related by commodity types and the number of rail spots. Finally, the specialization or dedication of a large number of facilities to …
Examining International Freight Forwarder Services: The Perspectives Of Current Providers And Users, Paul R. Murphy, James M. Daley
Examining International Freight Forwarder Services: The Perspectives Of Current Providers And Users, Paul R. Murphy, James M. Daley
Journal of Transportation Management
The service quality literature indicates a variety of gaps between expected and perceived quality, and that service quality is a key determinant of customer satisfaction. As such, the present paper examines international freight forwarders (IFFs) and IFF customers with respect to various services which might be provided by IFFs; the paper also reports on user satisfaction with their IFFs. The study results identified several mismatches between what the forwarders are currently providing and what services the users view as important. In addition, the satisfaction ratings suggest that forwarders’ performance has room for improvement.

A short overview is given at the shipping industry and its environment. The environment includes such things as the characteristics of the market or markets within the coastal shipping company, Navique. Its operations and the amount and type of competition it faces within these markets are investigated. Other environmental factors are the political and economic changes, which are affecting the operating procedures, the government policies and regulations. Further, the cargo carrying capacity …
Delivery Lead Time Compression An Integral Part Of A Time Based Strategy, Charles Sherwood, J M. Moghaddam
Delivery Lead Time Compression An Integral Part Of A Time Based Strategy, Charles Sherwood, J M. Moghaddam
Journal of Transportation Management
The objective of this study is to examine factors influencing delivery lead time in a manufacturing environment. It presents the results of a survey of the electronic and other electrical equipment and components industry' in California to illustrate the relative importance of these factors in delivery time reduction. The degree of importance of each factor is then compared with the extent of emphasis the survey participants actually placed on the factor in attempting to reduce delivery lead time.
An Examination Of International Logistics Practices Of U.S. Logistics Professionals, Hokey Min, William Galle
An Examination Of International Logistics Practices Of U.S. Logistics Professionals, Hokey Min, William Galle
Journal of Transportation Management
Over the last two decades, the growing interdependence of the world economy and the subsequent increase in foreign trade volume have contributed to the considerable expansion of global logistics activities. As global logistics operations became almost a daily routine for many logistics professionals, they have begun to search for adaptive logistics strategies to improve global competitiveness. To assist U.S. logistics professionals in fostering such strategies, this study empirically examines how the globalization of business has influenced the way U.S. logistics professionals adapt themselves to a dynamic international environment fraught with countless risks and complexities.
