COMPTON, Calif., March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IMC Logistics, the largest marine drayage provider in the nation, announced a significant investment in sustainability at a special event in Compton, CA on March 6, 2024. There, IMC unveiled state-of-the-art electric vehicle charging stations and announced the recent purchase of 50 Nikola hydrogen fuel cell trucks as part of the company's dedication to a greener future in drayage.
