- W573611700 abstract "This chapter describes how trucking is the dominant mode of domestic freight transportation in the United States. In 2000, trucking accounted for 78 percent of the nation’s intra- and intercity freight tonnage, 60 percent of total ton-mileage, and 88 percent of the country’s total freight bill (all exclusive of pipelines). The report describes how the pictures changes, however, when one focuses on just intercity freight movements. According to BTS, in 1990, rail accounted for almost 40 percent of intercity ton-mileage. By 2000 the rail share had grown to 47 percent and during that same period, the trucking share of intercity ton-mileage also grew from 28 to 33 percent, while water’s share fell from about 32 to 19 percent. In the past, policy-makers, government agency practitioners, carriers, and even shippers viewed our freight systems from this type of modal perspective, and focused analysis and decisions on mode-specific considerations. The advent of intermodalism, which has been enabled by technology, has changed this perspective to a more holistic viewpoint that is blurring the lines between specific modes. Today, shippers, carriers, forwarders, and integrators are reshaping freight networks. The modal industries are evolving from “carriers” to “supply-chain managers.” Shippers are delegating carrier selection to third-party logistics (3-PLs) firms. Government is focusing on system performance, rather than facility design and mode-specific capacity issues. Overall, the trend is toward market integration, and efficiency and reliability are defined by the performance of the overall system" @default.
