You don't shut down the economy of the United States for any reason.

Lots of orders at a restaurant with limited seating and only 1 cook.

What if a sizeable amount of port workers left NY and Ca because of they're handling of Covid? Maybe they left to fill jobs in other port states (Tx and Fla) due to retirements?

Biden is puppet for elite Cabal actually running govt LINK - TD thread, Trump saying this
The Cabal wants to intentionally crash the US economy in order to usher in their planned digital currency and the Great Reset to have more control over us all to ensure their perpetual power and also to continue to harvest even more of the wealth from our labors.

During covid many truckers retired.
Not just that. They also closed down all the truck driving schools. So the younger guys who would normally replace retirees are not there.
The driving schools have reopened but it's gonna take some time to replace those numbers.

Why aren't ships being diverted to the Port of New Orleans?

1. Our ports are unionized and refused to work 24/7 as a large international port should (all other countries do this).
2. Labor shortage for port workers and truck drivers
3. Covid cases shut down sections or the whole port for days at a time
4. New barges show up every day and backlog, waiting.
5. Trucks show up and have to wait for offloading. While they wait they get paid. Truck drivers are costing more than ever.
6. There’s a shortage of our own shopping containers for some reason.

1. Panama Canal fees and extra fuel.
2. Having to hire a pilot to navigate 100 miles of the Mississippi River
3. Port of New Orleans cronies and corruption prevents us from putting a port with rail at the mouth of the river in Plaquimines Parish.

We overnighted two packages via FedEx last week. When they arrived in Fort Worth, the tracking info had changed: The two pounder was scheduled to arrive the next day by 4 (afternoon, but at least the same day), but the 15 pounder wouldn't arrive until Tuesday.
Son, the shipping industry is a deadbeat.

We can't get drivers to get our product from Newark or Long Beach to Louisville. Demurrage costs are through the roof this year for us because of product sitting at the port.
Trucking it from LA to Louisville?
That's not normal...

No one working, no one hauling, no one managing logistics, America being a shitshow, China being a shitshow.

There is NOT a huge shortage of dock workers. The problem is the longshoremen union. By contract they can only work a certain number of shifts/hours and no scabs are allowed. They make tons of $ and it's run like a mafia organization. If you aren't part of the "family" then you aren't on the payroll. The part timers are called "casuals" and the union regulates their hours very carefully.

Literally my title
I got a full crew and we stay busy.
we are to the point, if a customer wants their product, they are going to pay and it's expensive. We do OTR dry van and reefer loads (refrigerated loads).
we don't have enough capacity to do loads for less than $3.00 a mile
that's double what it was pre covid
