Freight traffic volumes have been on the rise at a rate of 2.2% since 96. This increase has created stand still traffic during peak travel and demand times.
The DOT just announced aid to at least 5 metro cities that will help begin the process of relieving congestion on roads due to freight transportation.
One such solution may involve moving delivery times to off-peak hours. This change could have many side effects. Shipments could miss cut off points, delivery receivers would have to have someone available for delivery and some businesses just can't afford to change times like the restaurant business.
Logistics services will have to take a good look at how all these changes will impact business.
