Understanding the Relevance of Trucks on the Road
For average persons, trucking seems a supplementary chain to every business operation
, an industry that compels the creation of large vehicles that contribute to the narrowing of road spaces for normal and commuting vehicles. And perhaps, to them, trucking is not really that totally important. It is just an activity that brings about traffic congestion and to the extent, accident-stimulator to oblivious pedestrians and small vehicles.
Now to the realization part, trucking is a great contributor to the economy. It is even regarded as the backbone of an economy, to some extent. Just think about how your purchases would come at your door, or the products displayed on racks in the grocery store or perhaps, on how to move a product from one production line to another production line of a different manufacturing facility. Thanks to dump trucks, the wastes we dispose won't have to stay longer to our trash bins but trucks of this kind is not included in the scope of the trucking industry.
Trucking is the movement of goods from the shipper to the consignees, from the supplier to the consumer using the transportation mode called commercial motor vehicle or simply, a truck.
Trucks are not just motor vehicles. Admittedly, these vehicles can clog up the streets and roads and can sometimes be the causes of accidents. But discounting its value to business operations is something, most of us, may have derived to when we see the intimidating exterior of the big-wheeled carrier.
Consumer spending is what drives the operation of trucks. Carriers bring in cargoes for delivery to doors and establishments.
When you do online shopping, it provides you the convenience as well as savings from gas expenses and the urge to go to mall shops. But it is not surprising that once you do online shopping, the bridge between you and the retailer is the deliveryman, carrying the package and the documents for you to sign. And this deliveryman does not come by foot at your doorstep to deliver the package you have purchased. Of course, with the truck in tow and maneuvered, the deliveryman conveys the product you bought online in a transportation for safety.
As more and more people opt for online shopping, the demand for trucking services seems in a proportional level. Trucking jobs may be on the rise and retailers and truckers coordinate to work on satisfying consumer demands in timely and efficient manner.
In another spectrum, the manufacturing sector has always seen the need for truckers. With the just-in-time strategy implementation, manufacturers rely to the services of truck drivers to transport raw materials to the facility and the finished goods for delivery to retailers. Work-in-process goods inventory will have to be brought to another manufacturing facility if there is remoteness in location in the segmentation of production lines.
The Japanese-derived inventory management strategy regards the importance of truckers in the supply chain. With JIT or just-in-time, the cost of leasing or maintenance of inventory warehouses will be reduced and the volume of obsolete and damaged stocks can be minimized. Truckers bring in goods as demanded from warehouse to warehouse, from a factory to another.
Consumer demands and production outputs drive the activity of truckers. And with those factors, it becomes apparent that truckers provide a significant role in the economy, in the manufacturing and retail sectors. Although being intimidated by the appearance, average persons at least, should have the understanding why humungous trucks and space-occupying trailers are plying on the roads.
