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.

Our divisions are working in tandem to offer complete supply chain services while being committed to the overall mission of providing great customer care.

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.
