MILFMAN Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 A huge part of this problem is trucking. Those containers need to get trucked out before more can be piled up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a huge school for it about 10 minutes from my house, and they are advertising for students all the time. What was a number I heard recently, about 40% down from what the need is?

Same here. there are several trucking companies in the industrial park I drive through begging for people. Trucks parked with no drivers. I was told it was tight before but many people retired at the start of COVID. Not a glamorous job for young people but free training and good money.

F3600 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 If you're interested and if you believe him, the issue does not appear to be getting the containers off the ships at the port, but rather trucking and warehouse capability. Additionally retailers pulling forward Xmas orders to try and have items on the shelf. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/09/16/los-angeles-port-director-says-to-expect-holiday-shipping-slowdowns.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's become a hugely profitable business. Pick up an old diesel scow and crew of degenerates and reap in the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at money to be made. All those boats are manned by men who've been at sea for weeks. Get a boat and start running bacon, whores, weed, and beer out to those poor guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecat Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 The lack of new drivers is due to the driverless tech being spewed. Why start a career in a industry that’s on its way out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sat in on the meetings, it isn't even close to being able to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
