Consumer goods still wait on the ground for more than a week at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach before trucks pick them up for shipment, according to a report issued on Jan. 27.

Wait times remained at an all-time high in December, with cargo containers staying on average nearly eight days at a marine terminal after they are unloaded from ships at the twin ports, according to the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association.
