Amid mammoth ships and giant cranes, teams of longshoreman will unload containers packed with imported goods, and truckers will drive the containers through the terminal gates on the first day of this groundbreaking program. Transportation industry executives, local political leaders and community stakeholders will be on hand to discuss the OffPeak program, and spokespeople will be available to answer questions.
