The current state of motor transport enterprises, which is characterized by negative dynamics of development in all sectors of the transport sector, is studied. The research of scientific works determined the direction of the article and the object of research was business processes in administrative management. That is, it is impossible not to agree with the authors to solve the crisis of modern enterprises. It should be noted that all of them are solved through the mechanisms of the administrative management system. Therefore, it became necessary to form conceptual features of the use of business analyst in administrative management during the Covid pandemic 19. Modern approaches to administrative management are considered, providing reliable administrative management of the motor transport enterprise. Management of business processes in motor transport enterprises of business provides their constant improvement and optimization therefore the most important tools of process management are approaches and methods of improvement of business processes managed by administrative management systems. The researched approaches are aimed at identifying duplication of functions, bottlenecks, cost centers, quality of individual operations, missing information, the possibility of automation and quality management. The main directions and software products for automation of business processes in the system of administrative management are established. It is proved that the holistic application of approaches and elements of business analyst in the administrative management of the enterprise will lead to great chances of maintaining the competitiveness of motor transport enterprises and ways out of the post-crisis crisis. The measures of administrative management concerning improvement of activity of the motor transport enterprises are offered.

Container Manufacturing

In 2000, the Texas Department of Transportation contracted with the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) at the University of Texas, Austin, to analyze containerized freight movements in Texas. Although aggregate data are available on the container sector and global movements, including data on container manufacturing, steamship companies, container routes, vessel capacities, and costs and supply chains, little information is available on container movements in the United States. To shippers and those directly involved in the container sector, some data on container movements in the United States—including route choice—are available. However, for those involved in freight planning at the state level, such information remains somewhat of a mystery. To fill this void, the CTR research team sought the assistance of various transportation stakeholders involved in containerized freight movements in an effort to characterize and gain a better understanding of this important and growing component of the freight sector. A total of 31 telephone interviews were conducted, involving 3 major ocean carriers, 12 trucking companies, 8 freight forwarders, 7 container leasing companies, and 1 railroad representative. Questions addressed container ownership, liability at different stages of a movement, benefits of different types of leases, container tracking (state of practice), transfer costs, security risks, and the outcome of a container at the end of its useful life. This study provides planners and those outside the industry with information on this dynamic sector and likely future changes.

Digital marketing is one of the modern concepts of promoting products / services and positioning the company's brand with the help of any available digital technology. The development of digital technologies, software, the latest means of communication and communication channels allows digital marketing to reach the consciousness of the consumer as effectively as possible. A large number of types of digital marketing is formed depending on the tools and channels of digital marketing. Communications play a special role in digital marketing, taking into account not only the means of their implementation, but also the quality of their reproduction, as well as the nature of the focus of the information flow. For digital marketing, it is important to form a feedback channel and obtain relevant information on the basis of which analytical data sets can be formed. The main advantage of digital marketing is a personalized approach to each individual consumer by actively studying his preferences through the formation of an array of data that contains information on customer searches. The formation of an advertising campaign in digital marketing is carried out on the basis of the results of the analysis and in accordance with the main strategic goals of the company. At the same time, the effect of reducing the company's strategic gaps with its main competitors is achieved during the process of the development of the strategy. Based on the fact that modern consumers actively use Internet technologies to purchase the necessary products and services, as well as taking into account a feature of trucking as a service, that is, the impossibility of separating its production from consumption, is virtually bypassing the marketing stage, the expediency of the use of digital marketing was noted in the study. As a result of the study, taking into account all the characteristics of digital marketing and its benefits and conditions of use, several optimal options for the use of digital marketing for trucking companies, whose products are the process of transportation, were determined.

This chapter examines the monumental campaign to raise labor and environmental standards in the trucking industry at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports. Building on the blue-green coalition launched in the CBA and big-box contexts—and incorporating central lessons from a decade of community–labor organizing in Los Angeles—the Campaign for Clean Trucks emerged as a fight over air quality but ultimately advanced as a local policy struggle over working conditions for roughly sixteen thousand short-haul port truck drivers. For these drivers, the central problem was their misclassification as independent contractors. Misclassification forced drivers to bear all the costs of operation—contributing to poorly maintained dirty diesel trucks causing air pollution—while depriving them of the right to organize unions to improve labor conditions. Restoring drivers to the status of employees was the mutual goal bringing together the labor and environmental movements in this campaign. It rested on a novel legal foundation: The ports, as publicly owned and operated entities, had the power to define the terms of entry for trucking companies through contracts called concession agreements. The campaign—led by LAANE, the Teamsters union, and NRDC—leveraged this contracting power to win passage of the landmark 2008 Clean Truck Program, which committed trucking companies seeking to enter the Los Angeles port to a double conversion: of dirty to clean fuel trucks (thus reducing pollution) and of independent contractor to employee drivers (thus enabling unionization). However, the program’s labor centerpiece—employee conversion—was invalidated by an industry preemption lawsuit that went all the way to the United States Supreme Court. As a result, the policy gains from a blue-green campaign built on mutual interest were split apart and reallocated, resulting in environmental victory but labor setback. Why the coalition won the local policy battle but lost in court—and how the labor movement responded to this legal setback through an innovative strategy to maneuver around preemption—are the central questions this chapter explores.

Large truck crashes remain a significant problem in the truckload sector of the US motor carrier industry. Employing a unique firm-level data set from a large US truckload motor carrier, we identified two different driver groups hired during two distinct pay regimes. Before-and-after data on wages and safety outcomes created a natural experiment. Higher wages paid to experienced drivers in the new pay regime led to higher driver retention rates. Experienced drivers had lower average crash costs and were more productive during each tenure month. Experienced drivers had a much larger expected discounted net present value when compared with inexperienced drivers. As the previously inexperienced drivers gained additional experience, their crash probabilities and their value began to mirror those of the experienced drivers, demonstrating the value of greater tenure. This research supports ‘safe rates’ public policy because safety pays – for trucking companies, for cargo owners and for society. JEL Codes: J24, J28, J33
