@SG I realize there are no trains in the ocean. You know what i meant. All my online orders have been arriving just fine. So i'm not buying that there's not enough trucks (in California) to get these cargo containers prom point "A" (cargo yard) to point "B" onto trains. Maybe not enough truckers country wide (for when the train gets to it's destination or state), but they can find resources to offload those containers in California (I'm not buying it). But thanks for the input.

On October 16, 2020, the EPA reached a settlement agreement with California Air Resource Board (CARB) to shut down semi tractor rigs that were non-compliant with new California emission standards: The trucking issue with California LA ports, ie the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB), is that all semi tractors have to be current with new California emissions standards. As a consequence, that mean trucks cannot be older than 3 years if they are to pick up or deliver containers at those ports. This issue wipes out approximately half of the fleet trucks used to move containers in/out of the port.

As someone who thought about being a truck driver, I can tell you that more respect has to be given to these men and women that deliver our goods. I've seen the same problem all over the world and these are just some of the problems: -They are blamed for being late even if it's not their fault - Given illegally heavy loads - Asked to deliver a load in an impossible time that would have them speeding - Drivers in cars don't respect their blind spots, space cushions, don't let them merge, etc. - How about the sacrifice that they are away from their families for a long time and miss out on holidays. - There is also a health risk to being in a job that you sit for hours and the meal options are not the healthiest on the road. I have done some jobs in my lifetime that don't add value to society such as valet parking (yes there is no need to have your car parked for you at the Ritz, you can manage without us).

[@alexcopeland661]

I am a small business owner and this situation has not been because of “corporate greed. This is the result of supply chain imbalances caused during 2020 lockdowns in combination to worker shortages at the Long Beach and LA port. There were more containers coming to the US and not being sent back, consequently you have a pile up of empty containers in the U.S. that don’t get sent back so then there are less in China to send back again to the U.S. on future cargo trips. In addition port operators in Cali had stay home for COVID restrictions. So a combination of containers not being shipped back to Asia has made the cost of containers increase due to lack there of containers PLUS less operators at the ports and you have massive issue. Items in these containers support small businesses too. We have been massively impacted by having our inventory not only STUCK at anchor but also sea shipping costs have increased for businesses 5x in the last year. Even myself I have very small amount of product stuck in one of those containers right now waiting to be unloaded at the port but it’s so backed up that even though the ship arrived in August it still hasn’t been unloaded. It’s not corporate greed it’s all due to poor government handling. They chose not automate the ports like they should have, they chose not to operate the ports 24/7, they chose to have very strict COVID tracing guidelines and send operators in quarantine, they didn’t send containers back during the lockdown and it’s resulted in massive supply chain issue months later. This whole ordeal has been festering since early 2021 and now it’s becoming public
