U.S. Midwest
- Chicago/Dallas Import - Due to congestion at destination ramps and accumulating backlog of cargo at origin ports, delays are to be expected in origin departure from Long Beach and Oakland for rail deliveries to the Chicago and Dallas/Fort Worth areas.

TRUCK ORDER LEAD TIME (DAYS)
Due to the increased volume, we are experiencing reduced trucking capacity in most areas in North America. This will result in delays picking up and delivering cargo. Please reference trucking dispatch heat chart to indicate dispatching time for each major area.
Note: Truck Order Lead Time (days) = Number of days lead time required to secure truck capacity. 2 days is standard/considered normal.
