Flock Freight, a freight tech company, recently addressed the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) in an open letter. CEO Oren Zaslansky highlights a significant inefficiency in the logistics industry: approximately 50% of heavy-duty trucks operate with half of their capacity unused.
The letter dropped some more interesting numbers based on that stat:
Underutilization: This results in about 25% of freight space being wasted.
FlockDirect Impact: Flock Freight's service, FlockDirect, uses algorithms to fill these empty spaces, potentially reducing diesel carbon emissions by up to 40%.
