And we see growing strength in international e-commerce and the transport of time- and temperature-sensitive goods such as pharmaceuticals.

Challenges remain, including the need for industry-wide evolution to more efficient processes. That will help improve customer satisfaction and capture market share as the expectations of shippers and consumers grow ever more demanding," said de Juniac.
