| Abstract | A challenge with collecting and using freight shipment data is the proprietary nature of the freight industry. Freight stakeholders, such as shippers and carriers, keep the details of their shipments proprietary to maintain a competitive edge in an industry with extremely slim margins. As such, little research has been completed to understand the correlation between congestion and freight shipment costs. |
