Time is money mental health professional....sitting idle aint helping anything

Wait 8 days to unload in LA or make a 8-9 day trip to Miami. Spend the extra money on canal fees and fuel costs for the trip to Miami and back. Makes perfect business sense. :lol: 
 

This place is filled with retards.

The only thing not moving is the propellers.  Everything else is still soaking up money like they were underway.  

Forget the fuel, can you imagine the contract violations and law suits that resulted in lost revenue.

 

Fuck spinner doesn't even remember his own thread he starts about shipping containers going from 4-5k to 30k a month ago one of his "buddies" told him ..:lol:

Even at 8 days, in 8 days they are half way back to port to pick up another 15 million dollar profit load, and not being fined or shipping containers for free because they ran past contract requirements.. 

But the 200k canal costs!!

 

:lol:

Yeah those union longshoremen out on the west coast purposely working 1/4 speed unloading all the cargo ships, while making a couple hundred grand a year has been great for the country. :thumb:

Im hearing the powers that be, arent letting trucks over three years old IN the shipyards to get loaded...... not up to date on California emissions,, get oUT.                         :thumbsdown:                 creating a problem to further control.

I lay this squarely on the leadership, and not the rank and file.  They're getting greased would be my guess.  It should be a national emergency, and meanwhile the guy in charge of it all, is home on maternity leave.   :flush:

California law prohibits owner/operators from those ports and trucks in California must be 2011 or newer.  All because of the liberal laws.  Yes sir, democrats are the ones causing the issues in that state and with this as well.

but hey he is bonding with his kid like any ood mother/parental person/father :dunno:  should

 

Joe has dropped the ball here,  i said it here or in anothe thread,  State of emergency tell CA to fuck off and use military loading docks if needed to get those ships turned.   suspend whatever idiotic rules that CA has for trucks and drivers and open up a few more hours a day for them to make money.  No trucker in their right minds not making 6 figures right now with the premiums being paid.

Oh no question this falls to team Biden.  but to say its the dock workers dragging things down is dead wrong.  talk to guys working those docks around the U.S. and it clear this supply shortage is being manufactured.

I find the entire union love/hate with politicians good/bad relationship in this country utterly hilarious. 

 

Yep.  There's good and bad to them.  Personally, I find them dated and have outperformed their usefulness except to whatever politician feels like pandering to them on the news.

We only have to compare the south's growth in absence of their union strongholds.  But, even that get's tricky because areas don't grow the same.  It's like when comparing Canada's HC system to ours.  Good and bad but, both were built different.

What will you do about the driver shortage? That's at the crux of this issue.
