Disney is one of the top 100 companies in the United States and the world, so its shipping costs should be well managed. Typical U.S. businesses spend between 3 and 5 percent of their gross income on freight, according to Dan Goodwill and Associates (http://blogdg.ctl.ca/2010/02/facing_the_challenges_of_freig.html). For companies of Disney’s size, the annual spend would fall between 200 and 330 million dollars, a sizeable sum and a large percentage of Disney’s $1.48 billion dollar operating costs.
