We do not have a "preferred" US port. We have eleven of them, and we pick whichever combination of inland trucking and ocean lane is cheapest for the specific cargo and the specific destination, on the specific week you book. The result is that an auction win in Phoenix, a dealer car in Houston, and a fleet of buses in New Jersey can each take a different route - and each get the best price.
