Merchandise Storage WarehousingFirms in the trucking and warehousing industry provide a link between manufacturers and consumers. Businesses, and occasionally individuals, contract with trucking and warehousing companies to pick up, transport, store, and deliver a variety of goods. Increasingly, trucking and warehousing firms provide "logistics services" in addition to traditional transportation, warehousing, and storage services. Logistics services include a range of services related to the distribution of goods, such as inventory control and management, order entry and fulfillment, labeling, light assembly, packaging, and price marking. This industry includes two distinct segments, local and long distance trucking and terminals and public warehousing and storage. Local and long distance trucking and terminals provide over-the-road transportation of cargo using motor vehicles, such as trucks and tractor trailers. This industry segment is further subdivided based on distance traveled and the type of goods delivered. Local trucking establishments primarily carry goods within a single metropolitan area and its adjacent nonurban areas. Long distance trucking establishments carry goods between distant areas. Courier service establishments handle individual letters and light packages. Public warehousing and storage facilities comprised over 12,000 establishments in 1997. These firms were primarily engaged in operating warehousing and storage facilities for general merchandise and refrigerated goods. They provided facilities to store goods; self-storage mini-warehouses that rent to the general public are also included in this segment of the industry.
