U.S. Port Volumes Diverge: LA Down 0.3%, LB Up 2%, Oakland Down 9.6%

U.S. port container volumes diverged sharply in August 2026: the Port of Los Angeles declined 0.3% to 955,907 TEUs, Port of Long Beach rose 2% to 919,992 TEUs, and Port of Oakland fell 9.6% to 173,818 TEUs. Despite container imports reaching 2.6 million TEUs—the third-highest monthly total on record—dry van truckload demand failed to follow, constrained by weak consumer confidence and carrier exits. Port congestion intensified, with rail dwell times climbing to 6.75 days and truck dwell holding at 2.95 days. Equipment shortages, tight empty-container return windows, and flooding-related backlogs in China further strained operations. Project44 reported 10% and 30% month-over-month drops in daily truckload shipments near New York–New Jersey and Tacoma, respectively.

AI Bridges Air Cargo Data Gaps Amid ONE Record Delays

At Aviation Connect in Athens, Accenture Cargo’s Shanmugam Thangavelu identified air cargo’s core digital challenge: unifying fragmented data across the supply chain. China-US ecommerce trade fell significantly over the past year due to U.S. de minimis rule changes, yet overall freight trade shows positive growth and capacity rose year on year. Ground handlers face conflicting shipment data from carriers, agents, and customs — a problem affecting major agents today. While IATA’s ONE Record standard aims for a common digital record, adoption remains incomplete; Lufthansa’s recent work with tech partners signals progress, but a full ‘single source of truth’ will take time. AI agents offer near-term solutions for reconciliation, decision support, and strategic functions like revenue management and network planning.

U.S. Freight Sector Cuts 1,850 Jobs Amid Logistics, Manufacturing Closures

A new FreightWaves report documents 1,850 job cuts across U.S. freight-dependent sectors, including logistics, food manufacturing, packaging, and building products. Major actions include 4XH Logistics’ 230-job closure in Texas following Amazon contract termination; Ruiz Foods’ 176 layoffs in California; Louisiana-Pacific’s indefinite curtailment affecting 150 workers in Jasper, Texas; and $4 million–$6 million in expected severance costs in 2026. Facility shutdowns span nine states, with WARN notices citing permanent closures, mass layoffs, and production curtailments effective from Sept. 12 through April 1, 2027.
