Ports of LA and Long Beach

Trucking companies dispute the widely reported message that a driver shortage is largely to blame for the port congestion issues in California. In fact, drayage companies are laying off drivers because of port delays.

Available space at the country’s most important warehousing complex drops to unimaginable levels.

“2020 has been exceptional, with stellar performance in the industry,” says Hapag-Lloyd CFO Mark Frese.
