Jan 25: Remodelled warehouse networks will entail new transportation networks.
8Networks with fewer warehouses are associated with lengthier average transport distance for shipments and therefore higher transportation costs.
8For major warehouses in newly formed networks, full truckload services will become increasingly economical and therefore more prevalent.
8In addition, there will have to be a corresponding increase in less-than-truckload movements to regional markets.
8Cross-docking facilities, where freight is rapidly unloaded, sorted and then loaded on to outbound trucks, will become more common as hub and spoke networks develop.
