C.H. Robinson warns of persistent port and drayage constraints

U.S. container ports continue to face inland transportation challenges despite signs of moderating import demand, according to C.H. Robinson’s November 2026 Edge Report.

The logistics company highlights pressure on rail connections, chassis availability and terminal access. These constraints continue to affect container deliveries, even where vessel operations are running relatively smoothly.

In its latest ports and drayage outlook, C.H. Robinson warns that lower import volumes may not immediately improve inland transportation capacity.

Instead, uneven vessel arrivals and longer container dwell times can increase demand for trucks, equipment and terminal appointments.
