Abstract

The U.S. trucking industry plays an indispensable role in supporting the nation’s economy by facilitating the transport of goods across vast geographies. However, the operational challenges of managing a national fleet with multiple terminals often hinder efficiency. This paper examines the importance of cross-departmental coordination in addressing these challenges, focusing on fostering collaboration among departments such as dispatch, operations, and maintenance. Additionally, the paper explores terminal management strategies that ensure consistency and operational coherence across geographically dispersed locations. Drawing upon the author’s professional experience in managing trucking operations in multiple terminals, the research highlights the role of technology and leadership initiatives in integrating these aspects for enhanced fleet performance. Recommendations are provided to help trucking companies streamline operations and achieve long-term success.
