There is a global need to better
understand the inner workings of trucking markets and how
these relate to performance. Despite the critical role that
trucking plays as a dominant mode in most countries’ freight
transport task, and as a key determinant of both private
logistics costs and economic externalities, remain
insufficiently understood and under-studied. This report
starts from the basic definition of actors as comprising
trucking service providers on the supply side, shippers and
beneficial cargo owners on the demand side, and the public
sector, broadly defined, on the side of the public interest
that is reflected in issues of import to society at large.
But it is critical to delve deeper to reflect the way
trucking operations are conducted in practice, by
disaggregating these main actor types into further
dimensions of supply, demand, and public interest factors to
arrive at a more realistic view of performance. The report
is structured as follows. Chapter 1 describes the
organizational structure of the trucking industry in the
international experience. Chapters 3 through 5 subsequently
describes the interests and typical decision-making
motivations for each type of actor, and what ‘performance’
means to each of them. Chapters 5 concludes. |
