The ocean carriers want all their loaded eastbound import boxes expedited empty westbound ASAP right now during the current supply chain meltdown. It's been limiting these ag export backhaul moves.

This deal has been in place for about 4 years give or take. Most containers I’ve seen any one time was about a dozen. If they come double stacked the I&O has to do a special run around move in Springfield, OH due to a low bridge. |
