摘要
1980年《汽车运输法》(Motor Carrier of Act)中具有里程碑意义的放松管制改革的通过,不断给美国卡车运输业施加压力,要求其降低运输成本。在这种压力下,物流费用占国内生产总值(GDP)的比重从1980年的16.5%下降到2000年的10.1%。特别是2000年,运输成本从GDP的7.6%下降到5.9%。运输成本的节省无疑使托运人受益,但却危及承运人的生存能力。为了帮助运输公司应对巨大的成本压力,本文研究了“集运”成本、空载里程和货运规模对竞争激烈的卡车运输业的影响。通过对一家位于美国东南部的公司的实际案例研究,我们说明了总成本、空前运和回程以及运输重量和件数如何对卡车运输公司的盈利能力产生不利影响。
The passage of landmark deregulatory reforms in the Motor Carrier of Act of 1980 has constantly pressured the U.S. trucking industry to reduce transportation costs. Thanks to such pressure, total logistics costs have declined from 16.5% in 1980 to 10.1% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2000. In particular, transportation costs have fallen from 7.6% to 5.9% of GDP in 2000. Transportation cost savings definitely benefit shippers, while jeopardizing the viability of carriers. To help transportation carriers cope with enormous cost pressure, this paper examines the impact that “lumper” costs, empty miles, and shipment size have on the very competitive trucking industry. Through an actual case study of a firm based in the Southeast U.S., we illustrate how lumper costs, empty front-haul and backhaul, and shipping weight and pieces can adversely affect the trucking firm’s profitability.
