  1. “TRAC’s Metro Pool is the largest chassis pool in the region, with 17,000 chassis supporting this market,” the company noted. “As local economies reopen and imports surge at many U.S. ports, ensuring the timely flow of cargo through these ports takes on added urgency. One of the nation’s busiest ports, the Port of NY/NJ recently reported its best month ever for import volume. The Port has invested heavily in infrastructure improvements such as raising the Bayonne Bridge, deepening harbors and upgrading roadways to and from terminals, all to help accommodate larger TEU ships and the cargo volumes they bring. As a direct result of these efforts, between 2017 and 2019, container cargo volumes at the Port of NY/NJ increased 11.3%. Despite this volume increase, compounded by sudden spikes in demand during the 2019 U.S.-China trade war and a record container volume rebound in the summer and fall of 2020, the chassis system was able to maintain a smooth cargo flow, with little to no disruptions.”
