Delivering for chemical industry

Chemicals touch every aspect of our lives and provide essential ingredients towards nearly every product we use on a day-to- day basis.

Trucks manage the majority of chemical shipments overall, and are needed to make long and short hauls to customers, warehouses, terminals, ports, and for intermodal rail shipments.

Logistics in chemical industry comes with unique challenges due to tight temperature controls and material handling complexities, and regulatory requirements. The current decade is witnessing rapid expansion in chemical production and capacity. Logistical shortcomings and
transportation delays is expected to have a significant negative impact leading to several billions of dollars in excess inventory related costs in the next few years.
