JB Transport: The Back Story

This is a very exciting time on the pages of the JB Transport blog. It is May and we all know what that means… it means history! May has officially been declared history month here on the JB Transport blog. A couple of weeks ago we dipped into the deep and cool pools of history with our brief overview of the trucking industry and the progression and evolution of technology and policy that has impacted flatbed trucking companies and freight transportation across the ages, ok, maybe just throughout the century. This century has seen incredible change in the industry that sprung from a simple need, to transport goods and freight from place to place. Whether the goods be raw materials or finished products, there has been a need for freight transportation for as long as people have been in the business of being people, trading with other communities, nations, or people. The earliest freight transportation definitely looked nothing like what we understand freight transportation to be today. There were certainly no motors, and, if we go back far enough, there were probably not even wheels.
The skeleton of freight transportation, that being the elemental quality that human beings have of transporting materials from place to place, is the quintessential bonding element in every variety of freight transport, from every era and epoch. Regardless of place, time, or class, people have been transporting goods forever. This observation is basic and simple, but it allows a unique perspective on the nature of the freight transportation industry, and really, a lot of other industries as well. Taking this perspective on the trucking industry lets us view it as an ever shifting system with a stable and fixed spine (that spine consisting of an elemental need driving the industry). In this way we can view the entire industry as a process of development and progression. The trucking industry, specifically, is an excellent place to track the changes and developments significant to the industry because of its stable core characteristics. Regardless of the trappings, and trimmings, freight transportation has remained consistent throughout time. With that understanding out of the way, we’ll look at some of the developments and changes that have impacted the industry over the years on the next JB Transport blog.
