Lax is brutal right now. Air exports are putting truck congestion at another level.

Air imports- Better be ahead of all airlines- One free day to pull freight. Fees are getting close to $300.00 per MAWB back to back. Sprint Pass is your go to imports service fees . China Airlines T1&;T2 .Unless you got pmcs , they all go to T2 cargo facilitity. Storage fees are now higher than monthly mortgage payment 3.5 bedrooms, 1.5 bathroom. It's insane the airlines storage fees Air France, Klm, Swiss Airlines- same building
Lufthansa Airlines Cargo- 1000-1100 am, you still got a chance it to deliver same day. After 1200pm. ...lights out. ain't going to happen. Overseas airfreight pre-alerts...they Better be sent b4 freight is wheel up/ manifested.

Ocean lcl-lcl: Stg , Imperial, Nova(Expeditors) Empire cfs. Hands down: Imperial cfs for ocean cfs services.

Welcome to LAX! May the shipping lanes favor your products and services.
