The International Longshoremen’s Association port strike has made headlines this week as a major disruption in supply chains across the East and Gulf coasts, and FreightWaves has compiled a boatload of information to address frequently asked questions about the situation.

The conversation around sustainability in the transportation sector is no longer just about reducing emissions — it’s about rethinking the way we transport goods altogether.
