In this report, the authors discuss a unique research program involving academe, industry, and government to conduct research in the area of logistics systems with a specific focus on truckload trucking operations in North America. It is demonstrated herein that logistics research is both timely and necessary for those companies seeking strategic advantage during this time of rapidly changing manufacturing and distribution paradigms. The change agent that we have selected for research involves the use of alternative delivery mechanisms. We focus on the use of regularly scheduled delivery capacity in the form of delivery lanes, hubs, or zones. Herein, we motivate applied collaborative logistics research and present the results of important research contributions leading to strategic marketing and operational initiatives in the field.
