Transportation is an singular word

Answer 1

You're correct that "transportation" is a singular noun. However, in the context of your original question about trucking companies that hire drivers with multiple preventable accidents, the focus is on the companies themselves rather than the term "transportation." If you're asking about the word "transportation," it indeed refers to the act or process of moving people or goods from one place to another and is used as a singular noun. For example, "Transportation is a vital part of the economy."

Answer 2

No, "transportation" is not a singular word; it is a singular noun referring to the movement of goods or people from one place to another. Freight management companies specialize in optimizing and managing transportation logistics.

Answer 3

Yes, the noun transportation (an uncountable noun) is treated as a singular form. Example:

Transportation is more costly as fuel prices go up.
