520 _aThis text is intended to help students understand both the fundamental role and importance of transportation in companies and in our society, and the complex environment in which transportation service is provided today. The authors take a managerial approach to teaching transportation concepts and issues, providing students the tools to adapt to this fast-paced and rapidly changing industry. [In this book], the role and importance of transportation in the supply chain management and the economy are explored along with an overview of transportation regulation and public policy. [Next, the book] addresses the traditional modes of transportation including special carriers and global transportation. [Finally, it] discusses transportation management from both the shipper and carrier perspective.
