Transportation impacts nearly every enterprise around the world. Transportation exposures, however, can present significant financial and operational challenges to firms in this industry. Rising fuel costs, employee shortage and retention issues, credit risks, marketplace competition -- these and other exposures can have a severe impact a company's bottom line and impede its overall success.
