A complete, modern introduction to traffic management! The book covers the latest topics critical to effective traffic management in a deregulated environment--contracting, shipment costing, negotiating, anti- trust, electronic data interchange, transportation planning, information system support, and control. It also takes new approaches to several traditional topics. The discussion of transportation pricing emphasizes issues, concepts, and planning implications instead of technical procedures. In addition, because of its importance to strategic transportation planning, shipment consolidation is treated as a major subject and not as a by-product of the traditional "terminal and accessorial services" topic. The volume includes checklists, step-by-step procedures, and other reference material found in end-of-chapter appendices, vignettes summarizing actual company experiences, and numerous practical examples. It also includes selected topical questions taken from past American Society of Transportation and Logistics exams used in its professional certification program.
