ZEX is the only express string that sails solely from South China to Los Angeles, skipping intermediate stops to maintain schedule integrity. Containers receive priority stow and dedicated chassis pools, cutting overall door-to-door lead-time to roughly two weeks – comparable to premium transpacific services but with lower detention risk and faster rail connection.
