Abstract

The paper mainly focuses on the inferences that drawn from the driver behavior that were generated due to the gap between the mid mile delivery and the supply chain performance in perspective of middle level logistic companies in India. As the mid mile delivery is very crucial and critical in supply chain as it covers the major portion of the supply chain by transporting the goods between the warehouses to retail/general stores. The drivers of India are facing a lot of problems in mid mile delivery like lack of proper route map, Lack of visualization towards fuel consumption. The middle level logistic firms are also facing problems like vehicle scheduling and vehicle tracking and poor route planning preparation which results in the improper design of the supply chain that leads to the financial losses for the logistics firms.
