IMC EVP Testifies Before U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce

During her testimony, Lemm commented that, “Agriculture and forest products constitute the largest segment of our country’s exports.” She went on to address the impact that bottlenecks in the supply chain have on these products by noting, “If we cannot deliver, affordably and dependably, to our customers in Asia, Europe and around the world, someone else will – and getting those customers back is nearly impossible.” Specific challenges Lemm addressed included major rail and port congestion; export container shortages; driver shortages; hours of service exceptions for agriculture; street turn fees; and chassis concerns with supply, quality, fair access “choice” and accountability.
