Agree with the Forwarders & Shippers – re-install conferences allowing capacity and rate sharing. Be careful not to throw the baby out with the dirty bath water.

Fingerpointing will not solve anything while mainly shippers and forwarders continue to refuse data sharing allowing economic synchromodal logistics and they remain on the burning platform.
