Electronic Freight Management

摘要

In 2007, the United States set a record year for freight transport, moving more than $2.5 trillion in goods into and out of the country. The Office of Freight Management and Operations within the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) expects freight transport to grow rapidly in years to come as markets continue to open around the world. Moving freight across the globe is complex, involving processes for exchange of information among multiple partners and agencies as well as transfer of goods between modes of transportation.
