OPERATIONS UPDATES – COVID-19
WEEKLY OPERATIONS UPDATE – MONDAY 08/31/2020
- We continue to see an increase in chassis utilization levels across all intermodal markets, especially in the Eastern and Western regions, which are currently experiencing a spike in imports.
- Port of NY-NJ container volumes have increased significantly over the last three weeks. TRAC continues to focus on providing road-ready chassis to the trade to minimize potential delays caused by the surge in volumes. We are collaborating with our M&R vendors and ILA labor to reduce OOS (Out of Service) equipment to ensure fluidity of the chassis operations.
- LA-LB Port Complex continues to service additional cargo vessels. An increase in import volumes has caused a spike in dwell times at warehouses in the region due to limited storage space. For more information, visit http://pop-lalb.com
- TRAC continues its fleet readiness programs, including M&R and Safety Stock to make road-ready chassis available for customers.
- TRAC’s field operations continue to serve customers in all markets. In addition, our office employees are equipped to seamlessly support our customers and service partners via phone or email in a secure and productive environment, while working remotely.
- Ocean carriers are expecting a slow recovery into Q3 and Q4 with encouraging signs visible earlier this month. However, with an increase in new infections being reported in U.S., the outlook for the balance of 2020 remains difficult to predict.
