One of the inefficiencies in the transload market today is the availability of transloads with the ability to handle a large variation of commodity types. Many transloads were established on the premise of handling one or two specific commodities for the base customer of a location.
A deeper insight into regional market analytics and the types of transload requests that shippers require could provide a framework for transloaders to expand services. Transload site design needs to stay up to date to encompass capabilities for handling all commodities and becoming an all-in-one customer solution in handling, storage, and delivery.
