The Port of Los Angeles posted near-record container volumes in 2025 despite a challenging trade environment, and marked the occasion to highlight a slate of projects aimed at solidifying its position as the top U.S. import gateway.  Los Angeles, which along with the Port of Long Beach comprises southern California’s San Pedro Bay maritime complex, handled 10.2 million container units in 2025, third-most in its 118-year history and the third time it topped 10 million twenty foot equivalent units (TEUs).  The port handled 10.3 million TEUs in 2024.

American Trucking Associations’ advanced seasonally adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index decreased 6.3% in October after gaining 5.7% in September. In October, the index equaled 106.8 (2015=100) compared with 114 in September. “While there are indications that the economy is losing momentum, I believe October’s tonnage softness was more of a seasonal issue during a pandemic than anything else,” said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello. “Typical seasonality is off this year and it was a reason why October was down so much. Not seasonally adjusted tonnage was down a fraction as much as normal over the last five years during September, leading to a big seasonally adjusted gain. However, that means October’s not seasonally adjusted tonnage grew less than half as much as it typically does, leading to a big drop in the seasonally adjusted figure. There are plenty of carriers still saying that tonnage, retail tonnage in particular, is good.”
