Freight transport keeps the world running. In Germany freight transport has grown massively these past 30 years, by 75 %. Its climate-harming emissions are nowadays 25 % higher. Continuously high burdens of air pollution, noise and land consumption represent the downside of freight transport....

The road freight sector plays a pivotal role in economic development as it facilitates the movement of physical flows in both domestic and international supply chains. However, its significant contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has made it a major contributor to climate change....

Studying employment dynamics (i.e., rates at which firms add or shed workers) of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like trucking firms is critical to inform labor market theory and public policy. We examine U.S. trucking firm employment dynamics during the highly expansive period of...
