The Future of Transportation - Experts to Discuss Trends in 2013

Jan. 15, 2013 - PRLog -- The transportation industry is often viewed as a leading indicator of the near-term economy. The actual physical movement of goods, both domestically and internationally, is a strong reflection of future economic activity. As businesses and individuals continually make decisions involving transportation, an informed understanding of the current environment can increase the value of the transportation dollars spent.
