Taking a strategic, global view of trade reveals a critical need for the United States to gain better control over domestic freight movements. Currently, there is a lack of granular understanding of how goods move across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, compared with what is processed centrally. Establishing a clear, successful "flight path" or plan for every shipment before it even enters the country is essential for domestic efficiency, yet such a system does not exist today.
To bridge this gap, organizations like the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) can play a pivotal role in establishing consistent policies for domestic movements. By standardizing the starting point for multimodal moves across all 360 ports, the industry can create a more predictable and unified logistics framework. Improving these processes is vital for the future of regional trade and national oversight.
