Port Truck Drivers Strike at Ports of LA /Long Beach

On Monday, April 27, 2015, port truck drivers serving the nation’s largest port complex began a strike of four major drayage firms serving the twin ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach, where a crippling slowdown in early 2015 sent shock waves through the U.S. economy.

Primary picket lines are now up at company yards in the greater Los Angeles area and in San Diego, and truckers and their supporters are picketing company trucks at marine terminals, rail yards, and customer warehouses as far away as the US/Mexico border.

Striking drivers are picketing the following companies:

• Intermodal Bridge Transport (IBT)
• Pacific 9 Transportation (Pac 9)
• Pacer Cartage (LA region and San Diego)
• Harbor Rail Transport

Additionally, drivers and their supporters are picketing company trucks as they enter marine terminals at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, rail yards throughout the region, and customer warehouses as far east as Mira Loma and as far south as the U.S. Mexico border.
