Featured This Week: Trucking IT Investment Strategy – Looking For Your Thoughts
 
Today is the last day we’re collecting responses for our annual trucking IT survey and given your role in the logistics industry, I wanted to get your input. 
 
 
The survey (which takes less than 3 minutes to complete) is designed to explore key areas of technology investment within the trucking industry including:
 
  • What are the most important features of a successful Big Data strategy?
  • How have trucking budgets have evolved over the last 18 months?
