Ongoing industry issues fueled Fred Johring and other trucking executives to form what is now the Harbor Trucking Association in 2007. The goal was to amplify the voice of the trucking industry with ports, terminals, steamship lines, politicians, and the FMC.
As the years passed, the voice became more and more audible, with the HTA supporting ābest practicesā in the industry, and promoting collaboration with ports, terminals, and others. Multiple meetings with the organizationās stakeholders keep current issues in the forefront.
āOur experience with GSL has been outstanding and can always be counted on to get the job done. GSL sits well above most service providers, as they have a multitude of services they can provide, and have become a one stop shop for us in most cases. Aside from the very knowledgeable front-line teams handling the day to day, their leadership also is always accessible and prompt to address any opportunities and other special requests when called upon. I would 100% recommend GSL!ā
āGSL has provided a great service to us. Their organization has a nice ācustomer service-oriented feel.ā This is felt from the office staff to the drivers. They have shown flexibility, informed us of potential industry challenges, helped us navigate through unplanned bumps in the road, and saved us quite a bit of money.Ā We appreciate the partnership with GSL and look forward to working together in the future!ā
At the ultra-busy ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, if you donāt have the right connections for transloading, that needed seamless cargo transfer is easier said than done.
Port delays compound freight cost. And the fix requires proactive coordination and supply chain visibility at every touchpoint, from port to door.

It is common to see cargo moving in and out of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach on roads that are never empty. The scale and tempo of the operations here are relentless.
