As the world population continues to increase and is expected to reach over 10 billion by 2050, and the digital revolution is unravelling both new opportunities and challenges, players in the field, such as international freight trucking companies will need to adapt as well.

Transportation and logistics are central to economies everywhere. Not only they employ thousands, but they also enable other industries to smoothly run their business. As the world population continues to increase and is expected to reach over 10 billion by 2050, and the digital revolution is unravelling both new opportunities and challenges, players in the field, such as international freight trucking companies will need to adapt as well.

The key trends that are deemed to cause disruptions are geopolitical instabilities driving companies to incorporate new models of working and form strategic partnerships, the rise of urbanization and alongside it the demand for goods and the issues of loading/unloading and traffic congestion, the speedy advancement of technology which will shift customer expectations and business models forever, and last but not least, the talent gap. Whether a company provides shipping and transportation services or relies on them, they need to be fully aware and prepared if they want to keep momentum.

Staying ahead of the curve through the eyes of an international trucking company

RoadLinx Inc has been transporting goods and storing them across North America for many years now. Exactly due to their extended network, international coverage and variety of services offered for a wide-range of clients and industries, they have decided to stay ahead of the game and rethink the way they operate.

‘In the past, truckload shipping was simpler: we had a timeframe and a sort of point A – point B target. And even then we had to pay attention to every detail and think proactively about any potential issues that may arise. Nowadays, our business is undergoing constant change and development. We have put in place responsive service and handling to ensure we stay on top of even requests and changes at the very last minute. Our services and equipment have moved from standard to customized to accommodate even the most specific of shipping requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner. To stay agile and responsive, we’re also constantly looking to build a trusted network of partners who can help us deliver on and meet our customers’ needs.’ explained RoadLinx spokesperson recently.

Flexibility and embracing innovation are the only way forward

The spokesperson also pointed out the importance of having a growth mindset when leading an international trucking company. Digitalization means small, medium and large businesses will be able to tap into previously out of reach markets. Having the capabilities to ship products and goods seamlessly by water, air, land or a combination of all three, while embracing the innovative power of technologies and new systems, and the ability to be flexible and find solutions when unexpected problems come up will be the key to future success.
