Strike Threat Ended!
ILA Longshoreman’s Union and USMX have a deal!

We anticipate no imminent transit disruptions and the normalization of freight going over East, West and Gulf Coast ports in the weeks ahead.
We are excited to get back to “NORMAL”!!!
However, transportation is an “outdoor sport” so there may be some weather-related delays and inland ramp closures or railroad embargos as we work through seasonal snowstorms across the U.S. and Canada.
We will alert clients when their cargo may be affected.
