IntelliTrans Discusses Future Transportation Employment Trends
12 Dicembre 2023 - 3:53PM
IntelliTrans, a leader in global multimodal solutions for
optimizing supply chain operations for bulk and break-bulk
industries, discusses future transportation employment trends.
According to the Department of Labor, 80% of the available US
workforce will come from ages 65 and up by 2031. This will put more
significant challenges on who in the workforce actually wants to
work, adding an increased tightness in available labor.
“Many bulk and break-bulk businesses face increased
labor challenges due to increased order complexities; lower levels
of available, seasoned staff; and changes in economic conditions
where recovery rarely generates a return to prior staff levels,”
says Chad Raube, President and CEO of IntelliTrans. “With a
continued growth forecasted for domestic freight in 2025 and
beyond, there is an expected need of nearly 2M new employees for
transportation and warehousing jobs, due to growth and
attrition.”
Companies are competing for a shrinking share of
the population. Only 19% of the labor force will increase in 2021
to 2031 for ages 25 to 65. Eighty percent of the workforce in 2031
will come from the over-65 population.
Staffing levels in the bulk and break-bulk
industries are compounded by:
- Staffing is usually seen as “do more with less.”
- Teams often move from one emergency to another = tyranny of the
urgent.
- Rail service is the most economical but often has questionable
service levels, which drives the rail volume to trucks.
- Orders can be challenging with short, requested lead times,
cancellations, and changes,
- Need to account for site and product-specific
requirements.
- Smaller teams have less tenure and many "fires" to deal
with.
- The building of new manufacturing sites has tripled in the past
two years because of reshoring; this will change distribution
patterns and transportation modes.
Companies need to differentiate themselves with a
talent strategy that involves technology deployment, employee
engagement, and having a mission that matters. Technology like a
transportation management system (TMS) can help as it will automate
tedious work, improve productivity by 35%, and increase
satisfaction, as people want to work for a company with great
technology. The TMS should allow shippers to manage by exception,
which helps employees focus on only the shipment that needs
attention.
Using a TMS will reduce costs by
saving>$110/load. The TMS will also improve service
significantly if customers can help themselves, such as finding the
correct ETA and carriers can self-schedule. Between 10 – 15% of
freight bills contain errors, and accessorial charges are wrong 25%
of the time. A TMS with freight bill audit and pay capabilities
allows shippers to pay what they owe and carriers to get paid on
time, which helps with cash flow.
