Logistics is a critical enabler of the modern global economy

STRUCTURE OF THE INDUSTRY GO TOP
TOP FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS OF 2017
A report prepared by Peerless Media and Logistics Management

With this, logistics mangers putting container shipping to work are facing the biggest shift in their carrier base in 20 years—and now must adapt their procurement and contract strategy
