The reason them ships was out on the water and they could not get them into dock because of the United States being one sanctions and that is on every job and everything else throughout United States everything had sanctions on it
It wasn't just a shame Shane's it was surprise llum they wanted better workers the workers wanted better health care packages and better pay and with everything else
CBS I BLAME YOU AS MUCH AS BIDEN,,, it's not a problem President Trump had, its a Biden administration problem and you worked CBSso hard to get this looser in office, 👎 so people are gonna start buying up all the toilet paper, and who know what else,
All that stuff out there is just a bunch of pollution for the earth.
CONSUMERISM WILL CONSUME US ALL. 😔💔
Biden says 24 hours – but they are not hiring additional workers, truckers or partners – they do nothing. CBS and other networks are lying about this story – and between the border, the pandemic, the shipping backlog was created by Biden – and is now being made worse by a lack of leadership and action.
Oh nice, during Bidens tyrannical regime. Hail hydra.
I've been shipping containers for years , 2-3 grand is the norm. Now it's 20,000 +++++ per container… .. KEEP BUYING CRAP FROM CHINA. You want to make products on the other side of tge planet, then bring them back to North America ??? WHAT CAN GO WRONG ???
TRUCKERS SHOULD GO ON STRIKE. The BALL is in their Court. ,,, Time for a Reconing.
On the EAST COAST you can't find Divers to take containers off the pier to Depos pre long haul. You got drivers waiting All Day just to get ONE MOVE. These short haul drivers get paid by THE MOVE. This has been going on for YEARS…. Who wants to wait all day to make ONE MOVE ??? You have ILLEGALS driving trucks that should be in the DUMP. The NEWS AGENCIES should bring their cameras to NEWARK NJ NY PORTS and film whose picking up these BOXES.
Why does Joe Biden hate america. Dmn this man
Let's Go Brandon!
My packages are stuck here and I am poor I thought maybe I would do something nice for my self and buy a pack of coils for my vape, sadly the delivery date is 3 months out due to this situation 🙁
How come with Trump there was no bottleneck, but with Biden there is a massive delay 2 years after covid
Look what your Democratic govt is doing, trying to starve it's citizens to make them bend to a socialist govt ie communist govt just like every other communist govt did to it's people. DON'T LET THEM DO IT, FIGHT BACK…. KEEP FREEDOM ALIVE!!!!!!!
Many did not know that Gavin Newsome helped cause this mess in California by not lifting the restrictions on Owner Operator Trucks dated 2011 through 2018. There was new smog equipment and restrictions that needed to be placed on those years of Semi's, and owner operators walked away from their trucks and business. The media has not yet covered this, but they will very soon. This is just added to the problems of unloading and shipping containers.
Biden America
I own a trucking company and deal with the port on a daily basis. The issue is not the lack of trucks or drivers. The issue is the fact that the ocean carriers are not willing to take more empty containers back to China.
If there was a lack of trucks, why is there a line of trucks waiting to get into the port? There should be no lines of trucks waiting if there were no trucks!
A driver waits all day to take an empty container to the port. The port is not taking empty containers back fast enough.
The less empty containers there are in China, more money the vessel lines make.
The lower the supply of empty containers in China, the greater is the demand for containers.
Now the government will charge $100 per day up to 9 days then increase the fee by $100 per day.
The government is NOT helping with the situation; they are encouraging the port to slow down so they can make more money with the fees.
We pay thousands in demurrage fees caused by the port inability to issue appointments for empty containers to be returned which create the lack of chassis to take full containers out the port.
The solution is to accept empty containers without appointment and stop with the non-sense of dual transactions.
If there is no space for empty containers, then start stacking the empty containers at the airport property and release chassis to go get loaded containers out the port!
Yeah, Biden's got this country working like a Swiss watch. Idiot has destroyed everything.
If these countries made quality merchandise instead of cheap junk we wouldn't need to keep ordering this garbage..america makes quality.
Just say no to China, and yes to Made In The USA!
Just build more auxiliary ports and increase truck driver wages. Simple as that.
ITS ALL ABOU THE JAB ……………………Let's Go Brandon !
This is intentional
Child support can assist by giving father's there license back.
Say no to cheap freight and mandates
Labor shortages is only part of the problem. According to a truck driver cousin, a big part of the problem is that the port has blocked many non-union truck drivers from picking up freight. They used to pick up nearly half of the freight. The problem is that the Democrat party is beholden to unions.
I’m sure they’re blaming this on Donald Trump
the Biden Administration is making things worst every day XD (who ever voted for this guy, see what you did?)
here's a thought, why not port on east coast, do they really have to go to the west coast? it's a logistics problem, not a traffic problem, there are plenty of truck drivers in the gulf and easr coast, very few truckers on the west
I am curious, with all the ships with containers sitting offshore for days and weeks how many human trafficked persons have been found? IF NONE THEN WE NEED TO GET THEIR HOOKUP FOR SUPPLY CHAINS!
We need a Transportation Secretary that actually knows what they are doing. Someone who has a list of the ports that can handle that particular sized ship and make arrangements to divert it there along with the resources to offload and transport the products to their destinations. But we don't have that yet he believes he would make a good President.
Now I know where my new car is at. On a slow boat from China.
This is music to my ears. Better yet, it's EDM to my ears.
