Ship in Southern California? Our new Freight Insights Report is for you

Here’s how the San Pedro Bay port congestion is impacting facility and truckload operations in the Los Angeles market, according to Convoy’s proprietary freight data.

The freight market in Southern California has emerged as the cornerstone of the U.S. economy. Yet, in recent months, container ships have faced record volume and record delays at the San Pedro Bay ports. So have truck drivers. 

Just how much is the port congestion affecting truckload freight in Southern California?

The Los Angeles metro is one of Convoy’s strongest markets. So Convoy’s director of economic research, Aaron Terrazas, dug into our proprietary truckload freight data, along with publicly available transportation and economic data and research, to find out. 

The result: our Southern California Freight Insights Report.
