OPERATIONS UPDATES – COVID-19
WEEKLY OPERATIONS UPDATE – MONDAY 05/17/2021
- Following a record breaking end to 2020, we continue to see strong import volumes, with US retailers projecting 22% growth in the first half of 2021 over the same period last year. TRAC continues to focus on key pinch point markets, adding incremental fleet along with reducing out-of-service inventories.
In the Northeast (NY/NJ) and the Midwest (Chicago and Detroit) demand remains high. The Mountain area (Denver and Omaha) and the West (LA/LB and Oakland) are also areas of concern. This continues to be a very dynamic and evolving market and TRAC remains focused on turning equipment as quickly as possible to meet commercial demand and minimize import-export supply chain interruptions.
- The flow of goods into and out of the U.S. ports reached historic levels late last year. The Port of Long Beach had the busiest year ever in the books, with more than 8.1 million container units moved in 2020. The port announced a record-breaking last quarter. Similar trends were reported by the Port of LA and Port of NY/NJ as well as other ports and rail terminals. After a strong end to 2020, we continue to see strong volumes despite the surges in COVID-19 worldwide.
- 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.
