That's because they closed the shipping terminal down in Portland so they have to ship it all via semi. From what I understand train has much higher latency(and its being taken up by coal/oil cars).
Over the last 6 months its really driven ip traffic on I-5.

But that's still got to be an order of magnitude cheaper than increasing freeway capacity, and of course all the money spent on constantly rebuilding them.
