Portland is the primary domestic distribution center of the Pacific Northwest and offers the following “import transload” transportation advantages:
Intermodal truck-load savings
Backhaul rates typically lower than other West Coast gateways.
Better domestic truck and rail equipment availability
Consistent and year-round.
Additional savings and efficiencies
Transload into larger domestic equipment with the highest priority cargo first. Less trucks and product as you need it.
Inexpensive drayage rates
Lack of congestion and quick turn times.
Regional distribution hub
Best overnight truck reach in the Pacific Northwest.
Liberal truck length and weight limits
Distribution savings to Rocky Mountain states. Oregon offers both maxi-double and triple trailers; California and Washington do not.
