- Identify the mode of transportation most used by your organization. Can you discern any potential areas for improvement? For example, might rail be more cost-effective than trucking (assuming that customer demand can be satisfied)?

- Describe some of the best practices, in the area of transportation mode utilization, that leading companies in your industry have embraced.
