African ports and railway projects must cater to bulk mineral exports and intermodal containerized imports for landlocked countries to get lower #logistics costs. Trucking is not a sustainable option linkedin.com/pulse/landlock…

Each year U.S. #transport companies replace 9 out of every 10 long-haul truckers. That's a huge turnover for a #workforce of about 400,000. The industry’s constant churn is contributing to nationwide #supplychain disruptions, as freight idles and clogs up washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
