Common problems Oregon carriers face
Drawn from carriers running Oregon freight day-to-day.
Willamette Valley produce season is short and intense
Berry and produce season runs roughly Q2 — booking the right reefer loads requires day-of awareness, not weekly planning.
Long-haul backhaul gap to the East
OR outbound to the East Coast is strong but eastbound backhauls into Portland are thinner. Without good backhaul intel, trucks run high deadhead.
