The State of Transportation & Logistics Workforce Health 2027
How carriers, parcel networks and distribution operators actually run driver qualification, DOT testing, warehouse surveillance and injury case management — and where fragmentation between clinics, testing vendors, terminals and the medical record quietly costs the most.
Four findings from this year's benchmark
The median transportation program manages driver medical certificates on rolling dates across terminals, vendors and clinic networks that do not share one record.
Random-testing administration and qualification-file evidence are often coordinated outside the clinical record, increasing manual reconciliation and audit-prep time.
Warehouse and dock injuries surface by site first, but enterprise leaders need the same record to see ergonomic, noise, heat and restricted-duty patterns across DCs.
Operators on one structured clinical record reduce duplicate exams, close certificate gaps earlier and assemble audit evidence continuously.
