Abstract
As American firms formulate competitive strategies for the 1990s and beyond they are realising that significant profit opportunities exist outside the United States. As managers deal with globalising their logistics systems to support overseas marketing efforts transportation becomes an extremely important factor. The readiness of the US transportation system to support the growing global logistics needs of American business is examined. The authors conclude that with few exceptions the US international freight transport industry cannot meet the challenges presented by the rapid globalisation of the marketplace.Keywords
