What’s driving it a strike?

Lack of labor pool on both the delivering and receiving ends
Pending lawsuits due to frivolous bullshite
Labor pool not being able to pass drug test
Lack of truck drivers
High fuel prices

At what point does someone say “Hey…maybe we should start making shite here in America”?

There was a major shortage of raw materials like polypropylene this year. If material wasn’t imported, factories would’ve had to shut down for extended lengths of time.

The freight spike started with the ship running aground in the Suez Canal but labor and container shortages have kept it from going down.

I make sure all our containers are routed direct to the port of Houston. Still might have some delays but nothing like Los Angeles and Long Beach.
