Railroads are facing a strike

A provisional deal has been endorsed by 10 of the twelve rail unions. The impact of a strike might be felt by tens of thousands of workers.

Summer Means Success with JA Frate

The New York Times recently ran an editorial discussing the loneliness and regulations of life on the road. Drivers are key to ensuring goods reach retailers in time for holidays. The US started 2022 80,000 drivers short of what they needed. There are still 3.36 million truck drivers in the US alone.

Servicing Success with the Dependable Difference

Our divisions are working in tandem to offer complete supply chain services while being committed to the overall mission of providing great customer care. For our importers, we can source service providers for containers to be transloaded at port or to a JA Logistics warehouse and also source a trucker to linehaul that freight to the receiver.

Transloading

Analysts expect it to get worse before it gets better. 260,000 TEU of containers were recently released from a locked-down Shanghai set to hit US ports soon. Port congestion and transloading issues only going to get more complicated. Let's get it done together at JA Frate and JA Logistics.

Transloading with Expertise

Transloading increases efficiency by creating a central point from where cargo can span out in different directions when delivering to retail or end destination.

Warehousing with the Dependable Difference

With our warehouses, you can store your products in bulk so that you don’t have to worry about inventory being stuck in a port bottleneck when supplies run low.
