Will Technology Destroy Logistics Companies?

[HarleyDog]

As someone who has been a driver, broker, distribution manager and operations manager in transportation and logistics for 28yrs, I can tell you that someday typical brokers will be history. They are overpaid for the service they provide and a simple web based program that links costumers directly to the carriers would be economically advantageous.

As for the driverless trucks? Well, not sure that can be as easily achieved as dreamed or we would have had unmanned locomotives years ago. In my lifetime, there will always be a need to have that truck manned even if it’s self driven.
