Freight Handling. In : Encyclopedia of Transportation
Résumé
Viewing transportation through the lens of current social, economic, and policy aspects, this four-volume reference work explores the topic of transportation across multiple disciplines within the social sciences and related areas, including geography, public policy, business, and economics. Following a short historical reminder, we introduce the numerous tasks performed by freight agents in the haulage and logistics sectors. In a second part, we focus on the organisation of handling activities with especial attention to the constraints and enabling factors including details about the tools and equipment commonly used by agents. The final section on the intensification of work and its consequences end with an attempt to briefly outline future perspectives.
