Tightening US Trucking Market Poses Serious Threat to Lean Inventory Strategies
The US haulage market is experiencing a significant tightening, leading to increased costs and potential delays. This poses a considerable risk to companies that rely on 'just-in-time' or low-inventory business models. As trucking capacity shrinks and rates climb, the reliability required for these lean strategies is compromised. Consequently, businesses may be forced to reconsider their supply chain approach, potentially shifting towards holding more expensive safety stock. The disruption in ground logistics could have ripple effects, impacting the entire supply chain, including air cargo's first and last-mile operations.
