Senate urges action to avert rail and port strike disruptions

What if port capacity is reduced by 40 percent due to labor action?

Model a scenario where major U.S. ports operate at 60 percent capacity for 21 days due to strike action. Analyze container dwell time increases, diversion to alternative ports, premium carrier rates, and inventory stockpiling decisions across import-dependent sectors.

What if a rail strike closes major freight corridors for 30 days?

Simulate the impact of a 30-day disruption to Class 1 rail networks affecting automotive parts, retail merchandise, and agricultural shipments. Model capacity shifts to trucking and ports, transportation cost inflation, and resulting delivery delays across major distribution centers.

What if companies must shift to trucking alternatives for 4-6 weeks?

Simulate a combined rail and port disruption forcing 40 percent of affected freight volume onto trucking networks. Model trucking rate spikes, driver availability constraints, capacity tightness, and resulting lead time extensions and cost premiums.
