ClockWork finesses the final mile

Light highway truck traffic

While COVID-19 pressed the gas on technology adoption in the global transportation industry, a lot of the financial cost of that technology adoption falls to the truckload carrier or driver ⁠— an additional burden they don’t need.

While the big players in the 3PL arena train their crosshairs on each other, it’s easy to overlook the mid-tier in Europe’s freight forwarding market.
Among them, Germany’s fiercely-independent Röhlig Logistics, will be putting its 2018 annual report together about now.
