TRUCKING PROGNOSIS * USA: Gauging trucking’s digital disruptors

* New Jersey - Survey: Industry repondents expect disruptor of the freight transportation market will be Big Data

-- No  fewer than five technology-based “disruptors” to freight transportation were identified in a recent survey by Princeton Consulting... The results a report issued by Stifel, 267 responded to the survey. Of those, roughly 50% worked at carriers, 3PLs or brokers; 11% at shippers, and 8% at suppliers to the freight transportation industry... 

Sashihara listed the four major disruptors the survey determined and detailed:

° Self-Driving/Autonomous trucks 
 ° Drones 
 ° Freight Uberization 
 ° Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data: These two digital behemoths are interdependent and were viewed by the survey respondents as the most likely disruptors in play over the next few years... 

The indication was that most companies already have amassed “mountains of big data,” but they haven’t figured out how to use it productively to make enhanced decisions. However, with every unit of freight, every vehicle hauling freight, etc. generating data every second, the time to tackle the data analytics challenge is now. Sashihara implied that those who figure out this opportunity first, be they big or small, asset-heavy or asset-light, international or domestic, multi-modal or single mode focused, will be the big winners from now on out...
