Truckload operations is an element in logistics and transportation which can be optimized if there is the utilization of third party logistics (3PL). This is because routing operations can be made better with the assistance from government authorities. There can be better planning done in case of logistics management and supply chain management. A major issue with global transportation is that there are excessive carbon emissions which can get developed during supply chains (Wong et al. 2018). If 3PL is used, there can be effective mitigation of carbon emissions in the form of integration of trucking operations.
