US package shippers are shifting from air to ground and from premium-priced to deferred services, UPS says, boosting its SurePost volumes by 10%.
The cargo flow through the Landers terminal is better than it was earlier this year with fewer drivers experiencing multi-hour delays to pick up or drop off containers at the busy facility, the railroad says.
Demand that began to build at the end of last year spilled into the first quarter and K+N says its forward bookings indicate the positive volume development will continue as the year progresses.
