PROBLEMS OF COOPERATION AND SYSTEM CHALLENGES IN THE CARGO TRANSPORTATION BRANCH OF THE USA

Abstract

The cargo transportation branch in the USA is an important part of the national economy responsible for transportation of most of the goods in the whole country. However, that sector encounters with a number of challenges both cooperation (including interaction between various interested parties) and system (due to structural or operational inefficiencies). To solve the mentioned problems, a versatile approach is required, including more significant investments in the infrastructure, improvement of the drivers’ training and fluctuation, a wide introduction of technologies and a reform of regulation. Those challenges have an impact on the efficiency, safety and stability.
