Drayage capacity is tightening after years of weak profitability, potentially giving carriers greater pricing power as peak import season gets underway. In this Talking Transports podcast, PortPro Founder & CEO Mike Mecca joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior transportation and logistics analyst Lee Klaskow to discuss how regulatory changes and driver availability are reshaping this kind of predominently container trucking that connects port/rail terminals to distribution centers.

Mecca explains how PortPro’s transportation management systems and AI agents help carriers optimize dispatch, reduce empty miles, accelerate invoicing and prevent revenue leakage in a thin-margin business. He also discusses port congestion, terminal coordination, rail consolidation and why drayage’s short hauls could make it well suited for electric trucks. Mecca says 99% of code generated inside PortPro is now AI-generated.
