The rise of retailers promising quick shipments has impacted how the trucking industry operates. In 2017, \u201cLast Mile Fulfillment Centers\u201d represented 73% of the industrial real estate market in the US.<\/p><p>New research by the American Transportation Research Institute has highlighted how the growth of e-commerce is leading to an increase in the use of single-unit trucks. It\u2019s also changed trucking routes and mileage. As more retails promise fast delivery, and more consumers expect it, intra-regional and last-mile truck trips increase. This has pushed down the average trip length of truckers by 37%.<\/p><p>This rise of e-commerce has had both negative and positive impacts on the trucking industry. Shorter and more centralized trips are highly appealing to the new generation of truck drivers. In the US, drivers must be 21 or older to complete cross-state trips, which means the high number of local e-commerce deliveries provides more job opportunities for this demographic.<\/p><p>There are some downsides to the rise of e-commerce though. Retailers are compressing delivery windows, carriers have to operate with faster turnaround times, and failure to meet these tighter windows, regardless of traffic and weather, can result in fines from the retailers.\u00a0E-Commerce Impact on Transportation and Trucking Industries is serious.<\/p><p>While retailers are enforcing tighter and stricter delivery windows, overall e-commerce has been beneficial to trucking. Many of the top issues identified by truck drivers are positively impacted by e-commerce. Local hauls open up job opportunities for younger drivers and also increase driver retention, as localized trips are more appealing and sought after. Short-haul operations also not required to be reported on Electronic Logging Devices (ELD), allowing drivers to operate under more flexible hours of service regulations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26a0c49 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"26a0c49\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You May Also Like to Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/navata.com\/cms\/driver-shortage-in-transportation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why India is Facing Driver Shortage in Transportation: How to Fix it?<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51398f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51398f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/truckingresearch.org\/\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ACCORDING TO ATRI :\u00a0<\/a><\/p><p>The rise of e-commerce over the last 20 years has placed pressure on the trucking industry to adjust its operations and adapt to shrinking delivery windows and shorter hauls, according to the latest study from the American Transportation Research Institute.<\/p><p>ATRI notes the rise of online shopping and e-commerce could be good news for the truck driver shortage \u2013 the top issue facing the trucking industry according to ATRI\u2019s annual fleet survey \u2013 as local pickup and delivery operations keep drivers closer to home, eliminating a frequently cited quality of life concern for truck drivers. However, ATRI says this could also lure drivers away from the truckload sector, further exacerbating the high turnover rates for truckload carriers.<\/p><p>The move to more local hauls could also be leveraged as a training opportunity for young truckers, ATRI says, as they could acquire training and experience between the ages of 18 and 21 hauling locally before transitioning to interstate operations when they turn 21.<\/p><p>Since 2000, the average length of haul for dry van truckloads has fallen by 296 miles, or 37 percent, from about 800 miles per trip to about 500 miles per trip. The impact has also been seen in less-than-truckload and courier services, ATRI reports.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8965bcf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8965bcf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Top Issues - E-Commerce Impact on Transportation<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44de50af elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44de50af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">Since 2005, ATRI has conducted an annual survey of motor carrier executives, commercial truck drivers, and other trucking industry stakeholders to identify the critical issues affecting the trucking industry.

The shortage is expected to balloon to more than 160,000 by 2028, and ver the next decade, the industry will need to hire 1.1 million new drivers \u2013 many to replace older and retiring workers.<\/p><p>Perennially ranked as a top industry issue, the Driver Shortage topped the list in 2017 as an improving economy fueled concerns that the demand for truck drivers wouldfurther outpace the supply of qualified drivers. The shortage of for-hire drivers stands at 51,000 drivers.\u00a0 Aside from a growing economy, other factors also contributing to the driver shortage include driver retirements and competition from other industries. The growing demand for truck transportation from e-commerce is further exacerbating the industry\u2019s issues with vehicle capacity and truck driver demand.<\/p><p>However, the changing supply chain and distribution\/fulfillment models of e-commerce and omni-channels may present a solution for attracting more qualified truck drivers. Local P&amp;D operations provide the<br \/>type of jobs that will keep drivers closer to home, thus eliminating a frequently cited quality of life concern for current truck drivers and potential new entrants. The benefits of shorter truck trips also extend to drivers in the TL and over-the-road LTL segments of the industry, as the shorter intra- and inter-regional hauls needed to support omnichannel fulfillment networks may offer a more stable and predictable work schedule and provide drivers more home time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af773e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"af773e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.
