Stiff Competition for Air-Cargo Space

According to the Wall Street Journal on January 9th, companies are shipping more items by plane to meet customers' rising expectations for rapid delivery, prompting a scramble for cargo space.

  • Strong global economic growth is spurring demand for goods long ferried by air, such as automotive and manufacturing parts.
  • Online shoppers have come to expect faster home delivery of everything so passenger jets and dedicated cargo planes are picking up more kinds of cargo traditionally carried by container ships, trains, and trucks.

Millions of years ago, dinosaurs trekked the globe in search of survival, and humans wouldn’t have stood a chance in their environment. In modern times, humans trek the globe in search of evidence of dinosaurs’ eventual demise in the form of fossils and other paleontological pursuits. When it’s time to get fossils from one place to another, CAP Logistics and CAP Worldwide are industry leaders in shipping these particularly historic and fragile items. For example, CAP Worldwide recently shipped a major find, an ankylosaurus, from Montana to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.

In general, once dinosaur fossils are removed from the ground, they are encased in hard plaster for transport. They are then carefully placed and secured onto a flatbed trailer before CAP Worldwide delivers the fossils to their new homes.
