Transportation is the most fragile layer of the supply chain. Capacity expires by the hour. Small delays compound into missed cutoffs, lost driver hours, equipment shortages, and network-wide instability. Yet transportation is often managed transactionally rather than as an operating system.
The Transportation Operations Handbook is a practical, systems-focused reference that explains how freight actually moves day to day and why transportation networks break under pressure.
This handbook does not teach you how to book loads or negotiate rates. It explains the mechanics that drive transportation performance: time windows, capacity constraints, dwell behavior, lane balance, execution variability, and network design. Each concept is explored in depth, with a focus on how it behaves in real operations and how small decisions compound into large outcomes.
Written in a clear, analytical style, the handbook treats transportation as a system rather than a set of transactions. The goal is to build intuition, not memorization.
