Dry Van Market in Hawaii

Dry van freight on the West Coast is dominated by imported consumer goods moving from the Ports of LA/Long Beach and the Port of Seattle-Tacoma into distribution centers. The Inland Empire's 1.5+ billion square feet of warehouse space — the largest concentration in the nation — is ground zero for dry van operations. Transloading containers into 53-foot dry vans for domestic distribution is a massive industry. I-10, I-15, and I-40 carry these loads eastbound to the rest of the country.
