DRAYAGE TRUCKS * USA: Down 10 minutes in turn times

* California - LA-LB drayage truck turn times pick up speed


-- Truck turn times in Los Angeles-Long Beach unexpectedly showed dramatic improvement in March... Lengthy truck visit times and long truck lines at marine terminal gates are the bane of the harbor drayage industry nationwide... If the HTA is correct in its assessment that terminal operators in Los Angeles-Long Beach are finally getting a handle on their yard and gate issues, the message to the trucking community in the coming months as cargo volumes build toward the peak season is that turn times may increase incrementally, but they will not accelerate dramatically... The HTA truck mobility numbers show that in March the average truck visit time at the 13 container terminals — from the time of arrival in the queue outside the gate to the truck’s exit from the terminal — was 82 minutes. That was down 10 minutes from February and was the lowest monthly average truck visit time since May 2014... That is why the sudden 10-minute drop in the average truck turn time from February to March has truckers and terminal operators optimistic that they are turning the corner on port congestion...
