Such a sharp decrease has led the trucking companies to plan their operations based on the demand rather than the fuel savings. The low cost has also resulted in better profit numbers for logistics companies. This decline in the fuel cost will propel the growth of the full truckload transportation market in North America during the forecast period. Our market research analysts predict that this market will register a revenue of more than USD 461 billion by 2021.

The rising popularity of RFID tags is one of the key trends that will contribute to the market growth in the forthcoming years. The rise in utilization of RFID tags lowers the time for freight companies to detect trucks at numerous locations, such as warehouse gates or cross-border gates.

These advantages will increase the implementation of RFID tags by trucking companies in the future.
