Hi,
The best resources will be:
- Annual reports of the transportation companies (select the top ones)
- Monographies (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Transportation-Global-Supply-Chain-Perspective/dp/1133592961/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1524519506&sr=8-2&keywords=transportation)
- HBS cases about these industries
Best!
