Infrastructure bottlenecks limiting throughput and efficiency
Definition
Infrastructure bottlenecks including port congestion, highway chokepoints, and limited loading dock capacity strain trucking fleets' operations. These bottlenecks reduce available productive driving hours, increase detention time without compensation, create scheduling inefficiencies, and reduce asset utilization. The problem is chronic and affects all carriers but disproportionately impacts small operators who lack scale to absorb inefficiencies. Detention and waiting time at ports, warehouses, and loading facilities represents significant hidden costs that reduce effective revenue per mile.
