Overview of Freight Transportation Marketplace
Fundamentals of Freight will begin by providing attendees with a high level profile and exploration of the freight transportation markets. Following this overview, participants will break into two groups -- (1) rail and intermodal, and (2) trucking -- for 90 minutes of presentation and discussion. We encourage trucking executives to utilize this opportunity to better understand rail and intermodal, and vice-versa.

Topics to be addressed include:  · The economic and regulatory factors behind the industry’s evolution · The varied equipment types and commodities moved by each mode · Present trends in freight transportation and a brief look at what to expect going forward

Concurrent sessions running every 30 minutes, exploring transformative ideas in transportation.
