This paper also reveals insights into successful shared-transportation and a reduction in empty trips.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 This exploratory qualitative study was conducted by means of interviewing road carriers from the container transportation industry.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 In a truck-sharing initiative, technical issues (e.g. carrying capacity) arise, some of which involve the container truck and some involving constraints that cannot be controlled, such as driving restrictions, seaport operating hours, and the presence of the large number of container categories pertaining to the industry. Therefore, a significant amount of \u201cstructural empty running\u201d may always prevail. It should also be noted that some, seemingly vital, constraints can actually be changed, treated, or modified for better truck-sharing outcomes, such as building a foundation of trust and establishing coordination among road carriers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 A probable solution to the problem of increasing hinterland transport capacity is to make appropriate use of the huge number of idle truck slots that exist; this could be achieved by encouraging the acceptance of the challenges of truck-sharing realistically and suggesting an approach to handling them.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 To broaden its appeal, truck-sharing initiatives must be able to overcome challenges by combining theoretical insight with an understanding of the practical aspects of such an endeavor. This original research fosters knowledge that is unique and which also has real-life applications in maritime logistics studies and supply chain literature for both port authorities and container road carriers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/bpmj-03-2013-0042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,6]],"date-time":"2014-03-06T11:33:56Z","timestamp":1394105636000},"page":"290-334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Truck-sharing challenges for hinterland trucking companies"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Samsul","family":"Islam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tava","family":"Olsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2021010203574760000_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Agarwal, R. , Ergun, \u00d6. , Houghtalen, L. and Ozener, O.
