  • Freight and Intermodal Transportation
    C H A P T E R 5 FREIGHT AND INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION FREIGHT AND INTERMOD AL TRANSPORTATION A region’s industry and employment characteristics play a large role in the freight composition. Glynn County is largely a service-driven economy. The private sector employs about 76 percent of residents, with manufacturing employing approximately six percent and services employing about 65 percent of Glynn County residents. Federal, state and local government employs about 24 percent of County residents1. As such, the County primarily consumes goods rather than produces them. Existing Freight Conditions In order to create a freight movement profile for Glynn County the Federal Highway Administration Freight Analysis Framework data was compiled to develop an approximate estimate of freight movements. A total of about 816,000 tons were inbound in 2012 valued at approximately $3.0 billion (primarily motorized vehicles from eastern Asia to Los Angeles and nonmetallic minerals from Europe to the Philadelphia, PA area), while outbound totaled approximately 954,000 tons valued at $2.3 billion (primarily motorized vehicles and newsprint/paper to Europe). There were approximately 142 million tons moving regional with an approximate value of over $63 billion. Trucks carried 95 percent of the total 141.9 million tons of freight flowing through the area, while rail carried five percent of the share. Water and intermodal modes carry less than one percent each. The dominance of truck is due to the mode’s flexibility in terms of being able to handle varying shipment sizes and ability to achieve door-to-door delivery virtually anywhere without making any additional mode transfers.

  • Using the Port of Jacksonville to Lower Your Cost to Market
    ® MAKING THE CASE FOR Using the Port of Jacksonville to Lower Your Cost to Market Situated within a day’s drive of 70+ million consumers, America’s logistics center is a place where shippers of all sizes and across all industries come to lower their cost to market and grow their enterprises. PEERLESS CONTENT CREATION JACKSONVILLE PORT AUTHORITY MAKING THE CASE USING THE PORT OF JACKSONVILLE TO LOWER YOUR COST TO MARKET It’s a Fact: Jacksonville is the Logistics Center of America RIVE INTO JACKSONVILLE, FLA., and you’ll probably notice a roadside sign that Dstates, “America’s Logistics Center.” Aptly named, this Florida city is positioned at the nation’s center when it comes to moving shipments from Point A to Point B. “This isn’t just propaganda; it’s a fact,” says Scott Lane, CIO at Jacksonville-based Beaver Street Fisheries, a wholesaler of seafood and meat that sells to mass discounters, grocers, distributors, food service companies, and restaurant chains. “Look at where Jacksonville is on the map, and we’re sitting here between two Class I railroads, three major highway systems, and a port that carries over 1.3 million TEUs of cargo annually.” Peel back JAXPORT’s layers a little further and you’ll find a robust logistics infrastructure that spans all modes of transportation, ocean carriers of all sizes, and third-party logistics (3PL) companies. “When you factor in the many 3PLs that are based here in Jacksonville,” says Lane, “our logistics footprint is clearly expansive.” Wanted: The Right Logistics Hub Many factors are taking a toll on shippers’ bottom lines: international tariffs, global competition, rising freight rates, fluctuating transportation capacity, and the need to fulfill customers’ orders at lightning speed.
