As we approach the September 30th expiration of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) labor agreement, Barnhart Inc. is keeping a close watch on the situation. While we remain hopeful for a resolution, a potential strike could impact operations at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports, affecting the flow of goods.
In anticipation of this, we encourage our customers to take proactive steps to prepare for potential disruptions:
- Evaluate your inventory to ensure key stock is available.
- Consider shipping early to mitigate possible delays.
- Explore alternate modes/routes of transportation to keep your shipments on track.
At Barnhart Inc., we're equipped to support your business with:
- Warehousing solutions to store any excess inventory you may need to hold.
- Comprehensive trucking options, leveraging both our own fleet and partner carriers.
- International air cargo services, providing alternative options in light of potential ocean freight challenges.
Our team is ready to assist you in planning and navigating any changes that may arise. Feel free to reach out to us at 888-212-7991 ext. 521 or email sales@barnhartinc.com to discuss how we can help keep your operations running smoothly.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and keep you informed of any updates.
