Connecting you to higher productivity, increased
efficiencies, and improved inventory management

Industry experts see growth for the U.S. in most modes of
transportation, particularly truck, rail, and intermodal. With

the global economy still on the mend, trade is predicted to
grow at a modest 3-4% as developed nations contend with

weak growth, eurozone debt, a slowdown in China as well
as other emerging economies, and unpredictable oil prices.

Concern over environmental issues will continue, spurring
biofuels and hybrid vehicles. The need for global system

solution partners will remain strong.
