WRI’s assessment
The United States Logistics Growth Index advanced to 53.9 in July, a 1.0-point gain that places the nation first among five regional peers. The expansion was primarily propelled by the Business Volume and Transportation indices, which surged as manufacturing and services activity accelerated alongside sharp increases in domestic truckload and trans-Pacific container rates.
