Refrigerated unit train logistics costs reached an all-time high in 2005, according to the 17th Annual State of Logistics Report, a result of soaring fuel costs, strained capacity, driver shortages and the costs of meeting security requirements. The survey was released by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and I was fortunate enough to see Rosalyn Wilson present the report, Embracing Security as a Core Business Function, for the New York City chapter of CSCMP last month. Wilson, a consultant for Reality Based IT Services, produced the report and worked with the late Bob Delaney, the original author of the report, since 1994.
Wilson painted a bleak picture of the U.S. LTL cold train logistics refrigerated transportation landscape, pointing out that logistics costs rose from 8.8 percent to 9.5 percent of the nominal gross domestic product.
