A study by PierPass and Ability/Tri-Modal of gate turn times in Los Angeles-Long Beach indicates the median visit time of a truck calling at marine terminals is 51 minutes, and the vast majority of truck visits take less than two hours.
However, the Harbor Trucking Association, which represents drayage companies in Southern California, said that by averaging the turn times, the report “provides a disservice to the trucking community by statistically diminishing the impact that very real delays are having on truckers.”
