Truck Tonnage
Falls Back in June
American Trucking Associations'
advanced seasonally adjusted For-Hire
Truck Tonnage Index decreased 1.5
percent in June, following a revised 2.9
percent gain during May.
In June, the index equaled 137.2,
based on ATA's convention of 2000=100,
down from 139.3 in May. The all-time
high was 144 in February.
The not-seasonally-adjusted index,
which represents the change in tonnage
actually hauled by the fleets before any
seasonal adjustment, equaled 142.2 in
June, which was 2.2 percent above the
previous month.
"The seesaw pattern continued
again in June with tonnage falling
after a good rise in May," said ATA Chief
Economist Bob Costello. "On a monthto-month basis, tonnage has been down
in three of the last four months, totaling
4.7 percent since February.
"Looking ahead, I expect the freight
environment will remain choppy. The
good news for trucking is we are the
most diverse mode of all freight transportation sectors between industrial
and consumer freight. We are currently
benefiting from the consumer side while
being hurt on the industrial side. And of
course we still have the inventory glut
that is weighing down tonnage," he said.
The electric cranes also enhance nighttime operations through new highpowered LED lighting.
The project is part of a $100 million
investment in building the port of the
future, according to Roy Schleicher,
executive vice president and chief
commercial officer for JAXPORT.
Working in conjunction with the
rebuilt dock and state-of-the-art cranes,
JAXPORT's newly opened Intermodal
Container Transfer Facility at Dames
Point provides on-dock rail transportation solutions for both the Blount Island
and Dames Point Marine Terminals.
Late Gates for SEATAC
The Northwest Seaport Alliance
of Seattle and Tacoma announced it
will reimburse international container
terminal operators up to $2 million to
extend their gates. The program will
include flex gates from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m.,
keeping the terminal gates open during
the longshore lunch hour, and one offshift gate each week either after 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday or during any
shift on Saturday or Sunday.

Jacksonville Terminal
Nears Completion
A multi-faceted rehabilitation
project of Berth 35 at JAXPORT's
Blount Island Marine Terminal is nearing
completion with the installation of a
high-voltage electrical system. This is in
preparation for three new 100-gauge
electric container cranes.
The improvements will increase
energy efficiencies and reduce
emissions over diesel-powered cranes.
