“The Houston market has been experiencing record import levels as companies look to Houston for relief from congestion at the ports on the East and West coasts,” said Brian Beattie, president of Western U.S. Operations at Lineage Logistics. “Houston is a fantastic location for companies looking to provide an alternative entry point from the busy ports on the East and West coasts. It has an overweight corridor that allows importers and exporters to load up to 60,000 pounds of cargo on containers and move them with a 30-mile radius of the port. Equally important, companies in our industry are finding that placing product in Houston can service the majority of the country within 24-48 hours.”
