MORONS OF ABC NEWS – YOU MORONS SUPPORTED OUR MORON PRESIDENT WHEN YOU KNEW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ARE FULL OF CORRUPTION. YOU DECIDED TO ATTACK WITHOUT PROOF 24/7 THE BEST PRESIDENT THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN IN DONALD TRUMP JUST BECAUSE YOU RECEIVED PAY FROM SOROS, GATES, BEZOS, ZUCHERBURG, DORSEY AMONG OTHERS. YOU INTERFERED WITH ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT TRUMP WAS DOING FOR ALL OF US AND THAT THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS ARE INCAPABLE OF DOING. YOU ALSO HIDE ALL THE CORRUPTION THAT HAPPENED DURING THE 2020 ELECTIONS. NOW YOU ARE SEEING HOW THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS ARE DESTROYING AND RUINING OUR COUNTRY AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT… HIPOCRATS… MORONS… DUMBHEADS… AMERICA WON'T FORGET ALL THE LIES THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US NOR ALL THE DIVISION THAT YOU HAVE CAUSED FOR MONEY. YOU THREW UNDER THE BUS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR MONEY AND YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN AT A HEARTBEAT BECAUSE YOU DO NOT PLACE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST AS TRUMP DOES. THIS IS WHY WE NEED TRUMP BACK SO HE CAN REGULATE YOU OR FINE YOU HEAVILY FOR ALL THE DAMAGE THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Why don't you pay people more so that more people would be willing to work for a decent wage.
What a nightmare. Americans might have to make do for a moment with a bit less China-made crap than usual. The horror
Well in the us basically been talking about automated driving trucks for so long why would anyone think that was a safe career choice?
Why don't you cut trains in half!?
We see 3 mile long trains clogging up crossings and reducing the expedition of freight!
Our own leaders will never have America self reliant again. They would rather pay import/export fees for another countries goods and outsourcing businesses for other countries than our own. The Minute Bush Senior got in office we lost good faith business and got corporate greed for their own gain. Even with insurance as well as population in terms of outsourcing our own Americans jobs for other countries for the American Dream for Immigrants as a business model for their own gain instead of their own Americans gain at said time.
Ship by air problem solved. Amazon's already doing this.
i dont need toys i need vidoe games
Bullshit! The workforce of the Port of Houston is useless. This management is a piece of s…. . Someone should reveal the true about the Unions that are in charge of the Ports.
Sure, call in the national guard to test D e ath row prison inmates for the flu but don’t use them to move some shipping containers around.
It’s not like the US military has thousands of truck drivers already trained sitting around doing nothing, or thousands of trucks and trailers just sitting around, heck they would need to have a logistics control center and tankers full of fuel to solve this problem before Christmas….
Wait a minute, why wouldn’t they??
Definitely worth sending national guard (artillery units not even medical units) to get those test results in pronto though. 🤔
For the greater good?
OF WHO??
Is everyone really this brain washed?
A fucken stimulus check isn’t why people are not coming back to work! Good grief🙄 typical director not knowing wtf is going on with their workforce!
Stop asking EXECUTIVES! Ask the actual WORKERS!!
TEMPORARY VISAS!
trucker pay sucks that’s why companies don’t pay
I down on trucking but alas I am too young
I wish there was more real (technical) information about what is happening to the system.
nice dodge on the question of why workers can't or won't work
The heavy lifter wants great pay and full benefits . Let the pen & paper pusher also the data entry workers that have great pay and excellent benefits unload the cargo. They make the most money.
Drop some if not all the DOT regulations
Bomb Nigeria
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!
Everyone should lower their expectations
