Located in the southern part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, Long Beach is home the second largest port in the United States behind the Port of Los Angeles, which it adjoins. The port, which occupies 3,200 acres of land and generates $100 billion in annual trade, is a major gateway to international shipping, particularly the Asian markets, and is comprised of state of the art facilities and technologies. Class I railroads Union Pacific and BNSF serve the port, and an on-dock rail yard for easy loading and unloading of rail and intermodal cargo directly connects to the Alameda Corridor, a 20-mile expressway linking the port rail yard to transcontinental rail lines near downtown Los Angeles. Between its massive port, extensive rail network, easy trucking access to nearby major interstates, and close proximity to LAX’s air freight shipping facilities, carriers shipping LTL cargo to and from Long Beach can do so affordably and efficiently.
