Port of LA to test 'Uber'-like Cargomatic service
The Port of Los Angeles, the largest U.S. container cargo facility, announced testing of a load-matching service that is designed to speed container cargo shipments through the port.
Cargomatic markets its highway shipment approach as similar to Uber’s ride-sharing service. The port service, known as Cargomatic "Free Flow," is designed for participation by any cargo owner, motor carrier or owner-operator.
The new program is being offered at the West Basin Container Terminal, with participation by terminal operator Ports America.
