Key Takeaways: Tech-Driven Drayage: A PortPro Perspective Corey Abbott and Joe Lynch discuss tech-driven drayage: a PortPro perspective. Corey is the Chief Growth Officer and his team lead enterprise initiatives at PortPro, an innovative technology company that keeps the drayage industry moving efficiently with its operating platform built for drayage trucking companies, brokerages, and those that do both. Drayage carriers and brokers face the following challenges: Operational Inefficiencies & Lack of Real-Time Visibility: Difficulty managing complex drayage processes and tracking critical information (containers, status, appointments) leads to wasted time, errors, and increased costs. Manual Processes & Poor Communication Hindering Productivity: Reliance on outdated methods for order entry, scheduling, invoicing, and communication creates administrative burdens, slows down operations, and limits collaboration. Stuck with Outdated Tech or Ill-Suited Systems: Drayage carriers and brokers often face a dilemma: either wrestle with legacy TMS platforms that hinder integration and lack modern AI, or try to force-fit traditional TMS solutions missing crucial drayage-specific features like appointment management. Missing the Mark on Drayage Needs: Existing TMS options frequently fail to address the unique complexities of drayage, lacking the specialized fields and functionalities required for efficient appointment scheduling, container tracking, and overall drayage operation PortPro customers enjoy the following advantages: DrayOS: A Purpose-Built Operating System for Drayage: PortPro's flagship product, DrayOS, is a cloud-based TMS (Transportation Management System) built specifically for drayage operations. It streamlines everything from dispatching and invoicing to document management and container tracking, offering users a centralized platform that eliminates manual workflows and siloed systems. Automated Workflows and Real-Time Visibility: With features like EDI/API integrations, automated billing, and GPS-based container tracking, PortPro empowers carriers and brokerages with real-time operational visibility and faster decision-making. This reduces delays, improves on-time performance, and boosts overall efficiency — critical in an industry where time is money. Compliance and Scalability at the Core: PortPro's technology is designed to adapt to regulatory complexities like AB5 and environmental compliance laws. It helps companies stay ahead of legal changes while scaling their operations without needing to invest heavily in back-office expansion. This makes it especially valuable for mid-sized drayage companies aiming to grow. Specialized AI Agents & Optimizers: PortPro launches AI-powered tools integrated directly into their TMS, offering targeted automation for specific drayage workflows like spreadsheet updates and empty container returns, accessible via an AI Marketplace and customizable chat interface. Key AI Features for Efficiency: The initial rollout includes "AI Chat" for real-time data queries, "Spreadsheet AI Agents" for automatic data synchronization with Excel and Google Sheets, and "Empty Return Agents" to automate the often cumbersome process of managing empty container returns. Addressing Drayage's Manual Inefficiencies: These AI innovations directly tackle the significant administrative burdens in drayage, which can account for up to 20% of operating costs, freeing up operations teams to focus on more strategic and customer-centric activities.

Tom Burke of CargoWise Landside talks about how drayage rating & quoting best practices can improve supply chain management, visibility, & logistics execution. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [06.59] An introduction to Tom and his career journey, how he founded DrayMaster, and its current place in the extensive CargoWise Landise portfolio. “You could say that I've had my hand in every cookie jar when it comes to this industry, and I've gained valuable insights from each experience.” [09.49] Trend one: The importance of collaboration in supply chain management, the improving integration and interoperability between stakeholders, and how a shared access to pricing is helping to drive improvement. “A supply chain without collaboration would be fragmented, inefficient, and unable to meet the demands of modern commerce… It's the glue that holds the entire industry together.” [13.23] Trend two: What visibility and transparency mean to CargoWise Landside, the areas of supply chain where they're most impactful, and how they support drayage rating and quoting best practices. “Forwarders are working across multiple time zones, they need instant access to accurate rates… Waiting for hours or days just doesn't cut it any more. And for trucking companies, if you're not providing rates electronically, your likely missing out on opportunities to quote and move freight.” “Together, they're the foundation of today's drayage and quoting practices.” [18.05] Trend three: The role of automation in shipping logistics and supply chain management – how it's reducing manual effort, breaking down data siloes, and ensuring accuracy across data, from quote to invoice. “Ultimately, it's all about efficiency and transformation. Automation is changing the way businesses operate, enabling them to run leaner and more efficiently with the precision that's now needed.” [21.05] From rising customer expectations to issues with change management, the biggest challenges these three core trends present to drayage operators. [26.26] How drayage operators are managing through these trends and challenges, and why digitalization is no longer a nice-to-have. [28.47] ‘Good, better, best' – the three step approach to best practices, why best practices are needed across the industry, and how they pull together the key trends of collaboration, transparency, and automation. [32.52] How DrayMaster can help truckers to reduce quote turnaround times by up to a huge 95%. [34.59] A case study detailing how DrayMaster helped a 3PL to achieve 44% lower rates, resulting in annual savings of over $1.5 million, and drastically reducing invoice discrepancies by over 50% and counting. [39.30] How DrayMaster helps truckers and 3PLs to work together, deliver collaboration, visibility and data, and how drayage rating and quoting best practices can improve supply chain management and logistics execution. “When truckers and 3PLs work together seamlessly, the ripple effect benefits everybody involved.” RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: Head over to CargoWise Landside's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

Eric Johnson of LogTech Live talks about the new FMC detention and demurrage billing rules - the changes, challenges & what they mean for businesses. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [06.58] The latest from Eric – an update from Home Delivery World, two upcoming events, and how to get involved with the Blended Pledge. “Remember when everyone said ‘when the pandemic is over, everything will slow down' – it didn't, it never slows down!” [11.52] The big industry news of the week. “Now we've had Convoy and Transfix, within 6 months of each other, become defunct as brokerage brands… A lot of people are talking about whether the digital brokerage model worked on its own (as it was pitched to VC's a decade ago).” [17.31] An introduction to Eric's guest, Alexandra Griffon, and her company BlueCargo. “Historically truckers and drayage providers were the ones risking the per diem, detention, and demurrage costs, but this has changed. Shippers want to internalize this cost, and have control… Between 2020 and 2022, US importers, forwarders, and drayage companies paid $15 billion – that's the lack of control they don't want to go back to!” [23.35] The new detention and demurrage rules issued by the FMC – the big changes and what they mean for businesses. “Now it's 30 days to issue an invoice, and another 30 days to issue a dispute or challenge – it's a very strict timeline. And there are new data requirements that have to be on an invoice for it to be deemed valid.” [33.03] From data to the burden of responsibility, the biggest challenges with the new rules and regulations. “It's very hard to make sure your data is accurate. Just something as simple as the start or end date sometimes varies based on the source…. Having the data is a good thing… but there are lots of gray areas.” [47.16] When the new rules took effect, and how the dates impact what you can dispute now. “You need to engage to get your own access to the original source of data.” [50.57] Alexandra's favorite song. [53.18] Eric's best ‘Dad Joke' of the week! RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: Explore more industry news over on Journal of Commerce, and connect with Eric on LinkedIn.

Our guest on this week's episode is Evan Dexter, vice president, rental product management at Ryder System, Inc. Tomorrow is Veteran's Day, a day we remember our military families and the important work they do to safeguard all of us. One of the ways our industry helps to support our troops is through programs designed to transition veterans into logistics jobs. We hear how Dexter made that transition himself and how his company works to bring other vets into the logistics industry. New laws in California will require that about half the trucks sold in California must be all-electric by 2035. As a step toward this goal, we report on an effort by the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to award $60 million in vouchers for the purchase of new electric trucks for drayage operations within the ports.Facing a host of economic and labor challenges, manufacturers are sharpening their focus on frontline workers as a way to differentiate and propel their organizations forward. That's according to recent research from consultancy PwC and the Manufacturing Institute, which is the workforce and development arm of the National Association of Manufacturers. We report on details from this research.CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.

Matt Soule, CEO and Co-Founder, Parallel Systems joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how Parallel Systems will act as an economic growth engine for the rail industry. The conversation begins with Matt discussing how Parallel Systems business has evolved since he last joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy roughly year ago. During this time, Parallel has been testing their Gen2 vehicle in the United States and has deployed a Gen1 vehicle overseas. As they gear up to deploy their Gen2 vehicle, the company is preparing up to test railworthiness at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) in Pueblo, Colorado. We will run our vehicle through a series of tests there, to most importantly validate the models that we have already built up to predict how the vehicle will perform. – Matt SouleWhen Parallel begins to commercialize their business, they are going to compliment the traditional rail business by offering the rail industry a solution to expand their freight operations inside of the traditional 500 mile routes. With Parallel's smaller scale we can serve freight lanes that do not require massive volumes to have that daily arrival and departure. That's the core of our strategy. – Matt SouleA pillar of this strategy is replacing trucks on drayage routes. A large opportunity is moving freight on rail from the Ports of Los Angeles, San Pedro and Long Beach to the Inland Empire, one of the largest industrial complexes in the United States with over 4,000 warehouses. Parallel's autonomous and electric vehicles will have a range of roughly 500 miles between charges. The vehicles will be operating in a platoon of 20 and will charge while they are being unloaded and loaded at the terminal.When we go into a terminal, we will have charging nests kind of like a robotic vacuum cleaner going to it's charging dock alongside the rail and the vehicles will go to those locations and automatically dock with the chargers, and while they are charging the freight is unloaded and loaded. – Matt SouleThe next version of the vehicle (Gen3) will be the commercial product that drives up reliability and drives down cost. Looking towards the future when Parallel is operating a commercial business, Matt sees autonomous trucks complimenting the business. The economics get better and better and better the more productive that asset is. So I think that is where there can be a real compliment, where a self-driving truck can handle the complex first and last mile if there is a service that does not require us to go directly to that customer. – Matt SouleWith the current economic backdrop of a slowing global economy, Matt is preparing the business to take advantage of the emerging autonomy economy that will arise out of the economic situation partly due to the global labor shortage. Wrapping up the conversation, Matt shares his outlook for the future of Parallel Systems.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
That's the message in a certain way of the very existence of companies like Forum Mobility, around for just a couple years as a vehicle-charging-services and equipment leasing company. Company regional director Ron Hunt leads the podcast with that very notion, sounding like many an owner-operator in wait-and-see mode around electric-drive tech and battery-charging-infrastructure development. Hunt's a veteran of the trucking world who got involved with electric-truck start-up Xos Trucks some time back. Yet what he learned led him to the charging-infrastructure side, in part given absolutely huge barriers that exist to any widespread adoption of electric Class 8s. On October 25 we published the anchor story in a series around electric-drive-power realities, in which Alex Lockie unveiled and contextualized Overdrive readers' views on the current state of electrification as it relates the specific needs of their mostly OTR businesses: https://www.overdriveonline.com/equipment/article/15544337/teslas-semi-may-blow-past-diesels-uphill-but-truckers-see-limits Putting it quite succinctly, here's how one owner-operator commenter in some ways summed up current views on the nature of quite literally all battery-electric Class 8 technology as it relates to bedrock operational feasibility OTR: "It's not going to work, the power grid can't handle it, and the trucks don't go far enough on a charge." Hunt and his colleagues at the Forum Mobility company aim to help on the grid front, and well realize any “electric revolution” will be a good long time in coming to trucking, even port drayage where they're specializing. It is certainly growing fast if electric Class 8 tractors running in California still only number in the low three digits, Ron Hunt emphasized. Port drayage in the state is where those units are most prominent, for good reason. The California Air Resources Board has done everything it can to really make the market there, with an end-of-year deadline for dray haulers to register their diesels within CARB's system. And as of the first of the year, if lawsuits don't derail this particular deadline (a little more on that in the podcast, and here: https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15636769/california-trucking-association-seeks-injunction-of-diesel-truck-ban ), any truck registered to work California ports must be a “zero emissions vehicle” – we'll use that ZEV shorthand a bit, though no manufactured product in today's world is truly “zero emissions." Forum Mobility is aiming nonetheless to be a power provider with subscription-based charging access to sites in both Southern and Northern California specifically built with drayage trucks in mind. They're also combining electric truck-lease services with those charging-power subscriptions for those who want to pursue that kind of model, as they build a planned six facilities over the next couple years. Today on the podcast, excerpts from a talk with Ron Hunt and two other Forum reps about how the business got its start and just where it's planning to go to serve drayage haulers in California, and beyond. Another related element of the series is this feature about Hight Logistics, Forum Mobility's partner small fleet now running five electric trucks in SoCal ports leased through Forum: https://www.overdriveonline.com/equipment/article/15546421/small-fleet-owner-predicts-longterm-roi-with-batteryelectric

Paul Brashier - VP of Drayage and Intermodal - ITS Logistics - Reno, NV 1. How did the strike impact Port Health at Vancouver and Prince Rupert 2. What have we learned and what will we learn about the supply chain as related to those two ports? 3. Will negotiations like ILWU-PMA and ILWU-Canada have the same tone when other labor deadlines approach for east coast ports (not collectively since they aren't organized like that)? 4. Will shippers be more reticent to go to ports that are nearing labor deal deadlines?

As the supply chain continues to evolve to meet shifting consumer demand signals, the ports have seen traffic increases that require adaptation on the fly. For some companies, focusing on port drayage has been a key factor to handling the demand. Matt Keadle and Jake McCardel of Syfan Logistics join us today to discuss how Syfan is addressing increased demand in the Southern ports and how ocean drayage has been key to their success.

Paul Brashier - VP for Drayage and Intermodal - ITS Logistics - Reno, NV Work “no-shows” continuing to put a little scare into how negotiations are going, how do you see the situation now? We heard that one sticking point is a 3-year wage freeze the PMA wants to put on the ILWU - Greg Miller reports that higher pay is an issue for workers that currently make over $200K. - have you heard about any points of contention that are making this drag out even longer? How much of this is hurting the port knowing that ocean shippers have migrated to east coast ports and will continue to do so (despite issues at the Panama Canal for the Panamax ships)? The Biden administration is monitoring the situation - Should they be getting involved here as they had to do in the rail negotiations last year? Given that the three person presidential panel appointed by President Biden essentially sided with management on the sticking points, is the ILWU taking a risk by possibly seeing that same attitude towards management if they want federal mediation? Best guess - how does this play out and how much damage will this drama do to business on the west coast?
Highlights from the May 2023 Global Update from the Global Technical and Regulatory Affairs team at the Almond Board of California. Economic Impact Analysis of Retaliatory Tariffs on Exports of California AlmondsCalifornia almond exporters have been increasingly frustrated about favorable tariff conditions for Australian almonds while U.S almonds continue to suffer under retaliatory tariffs. Australia has a free trade agreement with China, reduced tariff treatment with India, and may soon have a zero tariff going into the E.U. Dr. Steinbach of UC Davis, using demand elasticity analysis, concluded that retaliatory tariffs cost the U.S. almond industry almost $875 million in exports or more than 325 million pounds of shipments between April 2018 and April 2022. He estimated that the withdrawal of retaliatory tariffs imposed by China, India, and Turkey could increase U.S. almond exports by about $175 million or 90 million pounds annually. Recently, ABC analyzed trade data to determine the impacts of retaliatory tariffs in key markets combined with Australian trade advantages. Based on that analysis, it was determined that if US market share had stayed the same before the implementation of retaliatory tariffs in China, India, and Turkey in 2018, and Australia's trade agreements with China and India, the value of US almond exports to those countries from 2018-2022 would have been higher by more than $550 million equating to an additional volume of 155 million pounds. This analysis will be summarized into a white paper that will be shared with policymakers for ABC's annual trip to DC coming up in June. For more info, please contact Keith Schneller.Transportation UpdateThe International Longshore and Warehouse Union negotiations continue with the two sides announcing a tentative agreement on a number of significant issues. However, there are still issues that will need to be resolved before a deal is signed. Additionally, dock workers at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach continue to undertake “job actions”, including those leading to a previous shutdown of the ports for a few shifts. There may also be separate negotiations underway with ILWU Local 13 (LA/LB) with the Local seeking to double the manning on container handling equipment. The uncertainty of the situation continues to cause consternation among importers as more and more shift operations to the East Coast. However, there is optimism that the sides are inching closer to a deal, and many of the imports are expected to return to West Coast ports. The California Air Resources Board unanimously approved a new rule to phase out sales of diesel-powered medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by 2036. This is the first such combustion-truck sales ban in the world. Drayage vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE) that are on the road now can continue to operate through their “useful life.” Those limits mean that when a drayage truck hits 800,000 miles, it can no longer be listed in the registry of drayage vehicles. The alternative is if it reaches 18 years after its model year, even if it has not reached 800,000 miles. The Advanced Clean Trucks rule aims to reduce California's GHG emissions by 40 percent and reduce petroleum use by 50 percent by 2030. Please contact Brock Densel.China Facility Registration Update On April 14, FDA resumed managing the General Administration of Customs China's (GACC) CIFER portal for U.S. facility registrations and has helped clear the CIFER queue of several handlers' change requests. These were waiting for FDA review before moving them on to GACC for final review and approval. An estimated 15 of the 70 handlers initially approved by

Today I'm joined by Lean Solutions Group, a super-successful business service provider that's using its impressive suite of solutions to make scaling simple. Lean Solutions Group is a nearshore and offshore services provider with a highly scalable and flexible workforce of 7,000 employees with operations at seven satellite offices in Colombia, Guatemala, and the Philippines. Partnering with more than 500 U.S.-based companies, Lean Solutions Group's expanded service offerings include staffing, technology, marketing, sales, and business process outsourcing services, all in one place. Today Hunter Bell, Senior Account Executive at Lean Solutions, joins me to chat all about the company and what they do; overcoming recruitment challenges; making scaling simple; the power of ‘global shoring'; and how to broaden your reach, without borders. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [07.05] Hunter's journey, how he came to join Lean Solutions and why logistics is in his blood. “I've been familiar with the industry. My Dad was in transportation logistics for 25 years… so growing up, I was able to see what that industry is all about, and the amount of hours you've got to put in…” [08.18] How Lean Solutions Group was founded, its evolution, and an overview of what they do now. “We set up satellite offices for transportation logistics companies. We have everything turnkey down there ready to go, office space and a recruiting team… we teach them the industry and then build out an infrastructure.” [10.28] How staffing has changed since the pandemic, the current labor challenges, and the opportunities provided by embracing satellite and remote teams. “When COVID hit, everyone was forced to go remote, which opened people's eyes to: companies don't only have to source talent in their cites now… remote work does work!” [12.53] A closer look at the process of working with Lean Solutions, from identifying a business's key needs to working on process efficiencies.

Today I'm joined by Envase Technologies, an innovative and fast-growing transportation software brand that is on a mission to deliver a single, streamlined system that digitizes the lifecycle of a container across the intermodal ecosystem. Envase bring together everything you need to gain visibility and control over your operations, expose inefficiency, and de-clutter your system, including industry-leading TMS options to fit your needs, business intelligence, rate management tools, an integrated mobile driver app, and a complete marketplace. Today Allen Thomas, Chief Commercial Officer at Envase Technologies, joins me to chat all about the company: what they do; the importance of digitizing drayage; how simplicity empowers growth; and why the freight industry is vital to the future of the nation. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [07.24] How Envase Technologies was established, and the challenges that founder, Larry Cuddy, faced that led him to create his own solution. “It all started with the challenges that the drivers face... the drivers in supply chain are left to pick up the pieces and deal with the inefficiencies.” [09.45] Envase's growth, from start-up to the largest drayage TMS provider in North America, and the role that a strategic acquisition strategy played in that growth. “If you could integrate visibility, streamline processes, create a common mobile application that drivers could use – you could really improve the day to day process efficiencies.” [11.56] An overview of Envase Technologies – what they do and how they help their customers. [14.49] The key challenges faced by the industry right now, and why companies that don't use a cloud-based drayage TMS face increasing issues. “Everybody, from very small to very large, has the same two big challenges – visibility, and process efficiency.” [19.25] A closer look at the Envase system for intermodal and drayage customers. [24.37] A deeper dive into Envase's over-the-road solutions, and how they're helping carriers and brokers to compete in a difficult market and achieve success. [27.44] The importance of building a wider ecosystem, why simplicity empowers growth, and how Envase is facilitating both of these things for their customers. [31.43] What onboarding and integration looks like with Envase. “We take a lot of time... to analyze and diagnose before we start prescribing.” [34.08] The ideal client for Envase Technologies.

Today's guest is Matt LeDucq, CEO and co-founder of Forum Mobility, which is working on the problem of heavy-duty trucking electrification, starting in California with the drayage sector.There are essentially two types of trucking. The first is long-haul or "over the road" which transports goods over long distances. If you've ever done a cross-country road-trip, the semi trucks on the interstates you see are long-haul trucks. And then there are drayage trucks. These trucks take large cargo containers from sea ports to distribution centers (and back and forth). Their typically short distances and repeatable patterns make them especially good candidates for electrification. Drayage trucks are relatively densely clustered and predictable, which helps when it comes to planning the EV charging infrastructure that can provide the amount of power these trucks command. It also turns out that California has some aggressive emissions reduction regulations coming online that will dramatically escalate the transition of drayage trucks from diesel to electric.Matt and Cody have a great conversation about the pending California regulations at play, as well as the history of clean air regulation around trucking. They also talk about the air quality issues surrounding most ports and the environmental justice issues that these regulations are aiming to address. They cover how the vast majority of drayage truck owners are independent operators and the financial burden that these regulations place on them. And, of course, they talk about Forum Mobility's product offering and company history, in addition to Matt's deep background in renewable energy. There are loads to learn about electrifying the trucking industry in this episode. Enjoy! In this episode, we cover: [3:19] The current regulatory world of decarbonizing the trucking industry in California[6:59] The role of environmental justice and dangerous emissions around ports[10:17] Challenges for independent truck owners and small businesses in meeting new regulations[14:32] Geographic differences in the drayage model[16:28] Incentive programs that help bridge the financing gap[18:19] Forum Mobility's solution[27:21] The company's business model[30:17] An overview of the charging infrastructure needed for drayage trucks[33:11] Matt's background in solar, construction, and electrification[36:41] Where he sees the company growing[38:18] How policy tailwinds can expand Forum's future business[42:13] Funding to date and how Matt sees funding moving forwardGet connected: Cody's TwitterMatt's LinkedInMCJ Podcast / Collective*You can also reach us via email at info@mcjcollective.com, where we encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded on October 18, 2022.

In this episode of Resources for the Road, host Gabrielle Bejarano sat down with Paul Gioupis, CEO of ZEEM Solutions. The two discuss how Gioupis got into the trucking industry, as well as where ZEEM fits into the trucking and drayage industry as a whole.“We started focusing on areas that we knew were going to have high concentrations of electric trucks that would run routes between 150 or 200 miles or less,” which includes areas near airports, ports, and distribution centers. ZEEM's first location, which has been up and running since December, is located near LAX in California, where they can house 220 trucks overnight and about 80 vehicles in their fleet.But the battery electric solution is not for over-the-road trucks operating more than 200 miles a day. “Trucking operations have been run the same way for a very long period and they've always been diesel minded. So the moment you come in and try to apply new regulations to a trucking business like this you cause major disruptions.”Gioupis explains that they understood a lot of the large fleets were going to have to start to go electric and they are willing to pay the prices to do so. If a trucking industry or trucking operator was looking to go electric, they would have to time several steps perfectly, which can quickly become incredibly difficult. So instead, ZEEM comes into those areas where they know there is going to be a high density of electric truck operations. “The idea for us is to come into areas, find a plot of land, and set up operations for anywhere between 250-300 trucks to park there overnight,” Gioupis explains, “And for those who want to domicile vehicles at their locations, we provide high power charging throughout the day for those operators that need the ‘juice' as we call it.”
The life of the drayage trucker in “normal” times is a difficult one. And these times are anything but.

Consider today's Overdrive Radio edition in the context of Overdrive Executive Editor Alex Lockie's reporting on the intermodal niche released a week and a half back, and the system-wide backlogs being experienced all around the container-moving supply chains, particularly evident at the nation's West Coast ports. The feature was another entry in our "Niche Hauls" series of features on freight segments where owner-ops are in high demand: https://www.overdriveonline.com/business/article/15279445/intermodal-haulers-fight-off-a-system-collapse-at-ports What we didn't get in that three-part report was a perspective from among the top volume ports on the East Coast – for that, Overdrive Editor Todd Dills reached back to small fleet owner-operator George Berry, working out of the Port of Virginia principally. He's a uniquely qualified source to voice owner-operators' views on just where congestion issues at the ports originate. For years now he's been a voice in a group called “For Truckers By Truckers” on social media around port and other intermodal drivers' issues, and his small fleet leases with five owner-operators now out of Virginia. For Truckers By Truckers continues today as principally an intermodal informational source for drivers and owner-operators of all types: https://www.facebook.com/ForTruckersbyTruckers Since the President of the United States raised port issues as a national concern almost two weeks ago, there's been no small amount of finger-pointing to just who's to blame among supply chain parties. Yet as George Berry tells it, the backlog issue is multifaceted, stressed by mismanaged sorting, pressure on intermodal haulers to pickup on the "last free day," a generalized, widespread shortage of chassis as they're tied up by various parties, and much, much more. Undue detention issues arise then at the warehouse receiving end more often than not if the hauler's lucky enough to get an open chassis. Yet among it all, there's good news for that common problem even in intermodal work, where "free" detention time is dwindling at receivers, and commonly low intermodal owner-operator revenue levels annually are rising. Berry estimates the current high-demand/relatively-shorter-supply situation could yield as much as a $50K revenue boost annually (or around 50%) for such operators. Berry describes himself as a "California kid," and while his intermodal career has been centered in Virginia since early this century, he feels California's emissions regs and other restrictions have exacerbated ports' overload out West. That traces straight back to the California Air Resources Board's Drayage and wider Truck & Bus rule restricting port operators and then the wider trucking community to running only newer-model-year vehicles. Those restrictions were put in place on pre-2007-emissions-spec engines serving the ports well before trucks running in the rest of the state, furthermore. "They've kind of created this conundrum, in my opinion, on their own," he says in this podcast. "And when they say, 'You make it, you're going to sit in it and stew," and that's basically what's going to happen with Los Angeles/Long Beach."

The world of drayage is very different from the world of nationwide trucking. It is a very fractured, mostly cottage industry, which operates almost exclusively offline. However, your first question might be, “What is container drayage?” Container drayage is the niche movement of containers between ports and distribution points, usually within a 50mi radius.In this episode, we will be diving into several things, the state of the drayage market, pouring over data for where freight volumes for import & export are, and looking at conditions inside the posts. By doing this, we seek to help the trucking community navigate these current conditions.Freight Guru Brochure: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pD_7...Container Drayage - Episode Outline: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r3Tu1dycqT-loqXHrncQPBiLP-3rdqNpdGj9zEl6T6A/edit?usp=sharingFollow Us ⬇️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/freightgurup...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freightguru...Twitter: https://twitter.com/FreightPodcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-...Freight Guru Website ⬇️https://thefreightguru.io/#freightguru #freightgurupodcast #containerdrayage #supplychain #freightmarket

This episode was inspired by what I meant to be a simple conversation-starter post on LinkedIn: “If you could wave a magic wand and make your biggest trade show challenge disappear, what would it be?” The nearly-unanimous answer: Drayage (also known as material handling). So I called on my friend, Candy Adams, who is my go-to resource on the topics of drayage, I&D, and labor. She graciously agreed to share her insights with you. And so in this episode you’ll discover: Where the concept of drayage came from and why it’s often so expensive How material handling costs are calculated

In this episode of More Power To You we explore the nexus of electrification, transportation and industrial marine ports. My guest is Christine Houston, Manager of Sustainable Practices at the Port of Long Beach, the 2nd largest port in the country and a national leader in electrification. In our conversation we touch on a range of issues including why the Port is pursuing electrification in the first place, what’s involved in electrifying a massive marine port, the implications of electrification for managing load, and what port electrification and automation mean for jobs and workforce development.

Please find some links and notes from the 2 Regular Guys Podcast. We talked tradeshow preparation for 2018, the good, the bad and the ugly, from the perspective of the attendee and the exhibitor. But we'll start the show with a conversation with Greg Kitson with Mind's Eye Graphics, discussing the Orlando ISS Show, and Hurricane Irma. Sponsored by: SGIA.org | 2017 SGIA Expo in New Orleans - Oct 10-12 Our regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys are all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants or lectures or selling. We are not doing this for our employers, but rather for our industry. Since February 2013, The 2 Regular Guys have been the first and the most listened to garment decorating industry podcast on this planet! We are humbled by all of you tuning in each week. We work hard to bring you information that will make your business better, and our industry better. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list and you'll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening! Thanks to Greg Kitson of Mind's Eye Graphics for giving us a full run down of the situation at this years ISS Orlando even that was cut short due to Hurricane Irma. Tradeshow Preparation Aaron: Let's start by saying every owner and manager in our industry should attend at least one trade show each year. And most every vendor needs to do trade shows either in your region or across the country if you sell nationally. Location Terry: Attendees Driving distance is a real plus, especially if you plan on purchasing equipment or supplies that will fit in your vehicle. Pickup a heat press or even larger equipment can save you real money. Most vendors do not want to take equipment home with them if they don't have to. Traffic and parking expense is something you should figure into your travel and expenses. A destination like Orlando or Vegas gives attendees, spouses and families entertainment outside the show. Aaron: Exhibitors A location with direct flights is a plus. Hotel rates can be a deterrent in a venue like Nashville. A destination like Orlando or Vegas gives attendees a reason to not attend as much of the show as they might. That's why exhibitors prefer the Indy's of the world. Restaurants and bars near the convention center but nothing really to draw away attendees during show hours. The Hall Aaron: Attendees Food onsite other than the $8.00 convention hot dog is always good, but attendees do have the option of going to nearby eateries. Pickup access after the show can be as easy as driving inside the building to waiting in a long line to get close enough to load your recently purchased machine. Terry: Exhibitors I'll list food here too since there's no option of leaving for a bite during a show. The DAX show provides lunch for vendors which is a welcome bonus on a busy show day. NBM provides coffee and essentials like aspirin, airborne, hand sanitizer, etc. And on setup day they wheel in a keg of beer. Drayage, electric, carpet, tables… these are usually ugly expenses no matter what location, but the attitude of those providing the services varies among venues. Exhibitors spend $1,000's at the hall, beyond shipping there and back. Let's list bitter cold or sweltering heat as the ugly side for exhibitors. Only the attendees during regular show hours benefit from heat or A/C. During setup and tear down vendors are left to the elements outside when the bay doors roll up to allow in the forklifts and crates. Atlantic City being the #1 weather extreme with an ISS show in the Winter and a convention center situated to allow ocean breezes to chill the bone. Heavily unionized halls will also “require” exhibitors to employee laborers for anything from turning a screw to climbing a ladder, while you standby and watch. (At time and a half rates most of the time for our shows)
