No one wants to ship to Long Beach and LA because of all the restrictions California imposed which has caused thieves to steal everything not locked down due to the delays in getting those goods out of the port and railways.

I don't see them ever getting that business back.

I wonder if shipping companies with ships coming from Asia discovered that shipping to the US east coast is just as fuel efficient as shipping to the US west coast despite being slightly shorter in travel distance due to not having to travel against the trade winds.

Not to mention the cost of diesel in CA AND the CA mandate to phase out diesel trucks.
