✓ Correct cargo description
✓ Correct dims (flatrack or crate dims included?)
✓ Proper hazmat documentation
✓ Main contact and backup
✓ Correct and complete pick up numbers
✓ Is cargo ready when professional driver arrives? Waiting time —> no one wins!
✓ Declare cargo value if you desire coverage above published limits
✓ Schedule vs Appointment
ELIMINATE ERRORS… ELIMINATE WASTE…CREATE CAPACITY
MYTH: In Texas, you can not legally load a 40’ container with more than 46,000# cargo
FACT: We can legally haul over 54,000# in a 40’ container
Permits, routes and proper equipment required
LET’S CREATE CAPACITY
MAXIMIZE CARGO WEIGHTS
The law provides for:
• Sealed intermodal containers only
• Must be used for international travel
• No hazmat; no flatracks; no open tops; no break-bulk. Continue to buy trip permits for indivisible loads.
• 6-axle configuration at 93,000 pounds GVW (3-axle truck + 3-axle chassis)
• 7-axle configuration at 100,000 pounds GVW (4-axle truck + 3-axle chassis)
• No interstate travel; TX Dot authorized routes only
• Transport must begin or end at a port of entry
• A county contiguous to the Gulf of Mexico (or bay/inlet)
• Transport is limited to a 30-mile radius of the port of entry
LET’S CREATE CAPACITY
THE NEW TEXAS HEAVY WEIGHT CONTAINER LAW
➢ Permit cost
➢ Capital cost
➢ Lack of available equipment
➢ Is the extra payload worth the additional cost?

Ports Area Mobility Study
Study Background
▪ Recommendation from 2012 HGAC
Regional Goods Movement Study to
directly connect the region’s ports
with emerging markets in the region
and all points beyond.
▪ Consideration of other issues:
• Diverting freight flow away from
congested urban core
• Changes in commodity flows (e.g.
foreign crude oil imports versus domestic
production)
• Panama canal expansion
• Growth in chemical manufacturing
Study Objectives
▪ Identify freight and goods supply chains that are dependent
upon on the region’s port facilities
▪ Identify improvements to better facilitate port related freight
mobility:
• Infrastructure and facilities
• Multimodal improvements
• Operational strategies
• Policy-level changes
Study Activities
▪ Port profiles (complete)
▪Data gathering and analysis
• Trade and Cargo flow (complete)
• Truck Counts (complete)
• ATRI Truck GPS (complete)
• Truck driver surveys (complete)
▪ Supply Chain Analysis (on-going)
▪ Improvements/project identification, assessment, prioritization
(on-going)
Status
▪Delays in Transearch data acquisition have impacted
• Supply Chain Analysis
• Growth and future volumes
▪ Both tasks under way
▪Assessing improvements to better facilitate port related freight
mobility:
• Infrastructure and facilities
• Multimodal improvements
• Operational strategies
• Policy-level changes
Example of an Operational Strategy
▪Container “Logistics”
▪ Both import and exports
carried in steel boxes called
containers
▪ Empty containers need to be
returned to port terminals or
collected from port terminals
▪What can be done to reduce
truck trips carrying empty
containers?
Example of an Operational Strategy
▪ Road network and port system accommodate unproductive
truck movement
▪ 59% of truck visits at one Houston container terminal have
only one gate transaction
▪ 44% of transactions involve a container carrying fresh air
29%

Truck Characteristics

indicates substantial number
of truck trips with tractor unit
only or empty dray chassis
▪ 7,661 truck trips in 24 hour

Container moves1 x Import to Walmart1 x Export from Plantgistix4 truck trips • 2 carrying cargo• 2 carrying fresh air• 59 truck miles
Existing Situation
Solution
▪ Better manage container transactions
▪ Dilemma affecting container terminals (not just Houston area)
▪ Solutions include
• Street turn (containers transferred between parties outside the port)
• Virtual container yard (manage container movements through IT solution)
▪ Study in Southern California found truckers informally doing street turns on 2% of empty
containers in the port.
▪ It happens in Houston – but lack of data to understand scale
▪ Challenges
• Lack of knowledge about where containers are
• Administration
• Container size, type
• Different shipping lines – export v import
• Who co-ordinates?
Container moves1 x Import to WalmartEmpty container fromWalmart taken toPlantgistix1 x Export from Plantgistix3 truck trips • 2 carrying cargo• 1 carrying fresh air• 36.5 truck miles
• 50% reduction of trips to the port terminal• 38% saving in truckmiles
“Street turn” Concept
Future Condition
Street Turn/ Virtual Container Yard
▪Many challenges but….
▪Unique situation in Bayport
• Concentration of
o Importers (Walmart/Ikea)
o Exporters (Plantgistix, Talke etc)
• Regular and sufficient volume of
container flows (both import and
export)
• Limited number of parties to co-
ordinate
Other Improvements
▪Also investigating other modes
• Container on barge
• Rail
• New technology e.g. Freight Shuttle
▪Highways
• Understanding port related truck origin & destinations
• Growth and changes to supply chains
Next Steps
▪Complete supply chain analyses
• Interviews with key shippers and receivers
▪Assessment of new transportation technology
▪ Initiating I-69 Bypass Benefit Cost Analysis
• TxDOT I-69 origin/destination study underway
▪Modelling
• Developing port truck trip calculator
• Volume and distribution of port related truck trips on the highway
• I-69 Bypass using H-GAC Travel Demand Model
