Trucking Industry and the $27 Billion Wasted in 2011 Due to Traffic Jams!


Based on a report by the Texas A&M’s Transportation Institute, the trucking industry as a whole shared costs for wasted fuel and time of about $27 billion in 2011 due to traffic jams, which is about 2.9 billion gallons of fuel wasted.

The cities most congested are Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, New York, Newark, Boston, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and Seattle.

We need to keep tabs on what actions if any the Department of Transportation is taking to easy congestion on the nation's highways?

Why freight factoring is so important to a carrier?  Freight factoring is the blood flow of cash flow, a carrier to remain competitive and operate successfully must offer credit to its customers, typically 30 to 90 days, so this is cash that the business will not receive right away, so how can the business operate having to wait that long for their payments, well, freight factoring?  With factoring, the trucking company sells its outstanding invoices to a factoring company right after the invoice is issued, providing the carrier with the necessary cash to continue operating without a cash flow shortfall. https://www.1sttruckingfactoring.com
