Summer may be vacation season for some, but in the world of port drayage, it is one of the busiest times of the year.

From Back-to-School inventory and construction materials to early holiday freight and seasonal imports, summer brings more containers, tighter schedules, busier warehouses, and more pressure on the supply chain.

Our latest blog breaks down why summer is such an important season for port drayage and what importers, freight forwarders, and logistics teams can do to stay ahead.

Summer may feel like vacation season for much of the country, but in logistics, the temperature is not the only thing rising.

May the 4th… but there’s no Force fixing port congestion.

Every move at the port has two sides.

The one where everything clicks… and the one where you’re chasing empties and watching per diem tick.

We can’t control the port.

But we can control how we show up for you.

This KitKat seems to be making a very fast delivery.

Behind the unusual headline is a very real logistics reminder: specialized cargo, predictable routes, and shipment visibility all matter once freight starts moving.

Some of freight’s biggest costs are easy to see. Others build quietly while the truck is still waiting.

As diesel prices rise again, the conversation around electric trucks keeps growing, but one thing has not changed: time still matters.

At the port, idle time affects fuel, scheduling, equipment use, and what the rest of the day looks like after one delay becomes two.

Technology matters, but freight still answers to time, cost, and reliability.

We took a closer look at why electric truck costs in the U.S. remain high even as diesel prices continue climbing:

AI’s moving fast.

The rulebook’s starting to catch up.

If you’re in trucking, you might not think about “AI policy” — but you’re already using systems that rely on it.

Before the rules show up in the platforms we depend on, it’s worth understanding what’s coming.

At ESK, we speak fluent acronym.

FCL. LCL. CNTR. THC.
It’s basically another language.

So we translated it.
