According to Moore, the decrease can be partially explained by a higher number of distribution centers and warehouses. As a result, logistics operations are closer to customers, and their fleets are driving less.<\/p>\n<p>On average, the report found, private fleets have 49 distribution locations, up from an average of 44 in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div class=\"lytics-newsletter-container\">\n <div class=\"lytics-loading-spinner\">\n <div class=\"spinner\"><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div
