No post-peak easing at US container gateways as drayage capacity stays tight

Elevated import cargo volumes have strained drayage capacity at US container gateways. Much of the recent attention has focused on the Port of Houston, which is handling record cargo volumes, and traffic there is expected to keep growing, driven by multiple factors.

Since mid-August, US trucking and logistics firms have pointed to tight drayage capacity as the biggest brake on growth, and have warned of bottlenecks at ports and inland rail ramps.

The headline of the report states that there has been no easing after the peak season at US container gateways. The supplied text does not detail the remaining growth drivers, as the material cuts off at the phrase about the biggest factor.
