Biden Con Job Regarding Supply Chain Solution: Opening Port 24/7 Is NOT The 'Game Changer' He Claims

[jbrownson0831]

Things stopped moving when the lockdown occurred. Nobody wanted the stuff. Now that the lockdown is over, things are starting to move. There's traffic jams just like you'd expect.

As usual......WRONG!

Though the problem has been building for many months, supply chain issues in the United States and particularly the role ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach play, have become a hot topic in the news cycle. Finally, Joe Biden somewhat addressed the issue; however, like many things Biden, the “solution” isn’t really a solution, and there is no acknowledgment of the federal and state regulations and laws that have, for the most part, caused the problem.


The Fake News Media certainly want is doing it's best to make people think this move by Biden is going to solve the problem:

President Biden announces that the port of Los Angeles will begin operating 24/7 to help supply chain bottleneck issues, nearly doubling the amount of time it is now open.

NOTHING-burger!

Industry experts told Freightwaves that simply expanding port hours wouldn’t get goods to market faster because unless distribution centers/warehouses are also open 24/7, truckers won’t want to pick up loads during off-hours. One executive characterized the move as a “nothing burger”.

The announcement of the extended hours has been welcomed, but not everybody is impressed. One forwarder executive described this as a “nothing burger”.

Craig Grossgart, senior vice-president global ocean of Seko Logistics, remarked that the initiative will do nothing beyond allowing terminals to clean up their yards and make them marginally more efficient.

“Truckers and customers don’t want to pull boxes at night, because few DCs operate 24-hours a day. So, the trucker will have to pre-pull the container, store it in a secure yard, which costs more money obviously and comes with liability for the security of the container,”


This is a great article because experts teach people how the supply chain REALLY works, explaining every detail.....and how Biden is trying to baffle the American people with bullshit.

Opening the Port of Los Angeles 24/7 Isn't the Game Changer Biden Claims

Hmmmm open 24/7 with the same shortage of workers you had before....do the workers stay there all day and never sleep?

Thanks for that opinion. but the EXPERTS say to clear out the 1 Million containers sitting on the dock and the approximate 2nd million containers on ships waiting to come to prt to get unloaded will take approx 6 MONTHS.

Instead of listening to your 'friend' at the port, I encourage you to read the article and how the experts break down how it ALL works, flows together - the off-loading, the loading onto trucks, the worker / driver shortages, the Un-Constitutional Biden vaccine mandates affect, not enough truckers working, drivers preferring not to drive at night, etc....


This is not going to be cleared up in 'no time'.

6 months is quite a short time frame. Some estimates were end of 2022.

Thank goodness brandon is at the helm.

 

[White 6]

no doubt why you have to be 21.....

I read an article where somebody was proposing lowering to help solve a possible trucker shortage. It didn't get far with me.

I love the fact that he's asking FedEx to bail him out, and FedEx has told him to eat a dick on the vaccine mandate!!!!

FRED SMITH IS AWESOME.

Biden's is a shit leader, Trump would have this cargo unloaded already and heading to stores.

Yea, like he went down & helped first responders after 9/11? That jerkoff can't keep his hotels supplied with towels & bar soap & he's going to fix this?

Maybe Trump can call his "cabinet members" down to Mar A Lago, make believe he's the president & hold another one of his Infrastructure Weeks.

Thanks for the laugh.

Supply Chain Backlog to Last Until Summer of Next Year, Despite 24/7 Operating Hours: Officials

Despite President Biden’s announcement Wednesday that the severely backlogged Port of Los Angeles would expand into 24/7 operating hours—similar to the Port of Long Beach—port officials are saying the backlog will continue until the summer of 2022.

Noel Hacegaba, deputy executive director of the Port of Long Beach, said expanding the ports’ operating hours will not impact the supply chain disruptions given the continued shortage of truck drivers, chassis equipment, and warehouse operations and space.

It doesn't matter if the ports run 24/7.
It doesn't matter because the ports can unload the boats faster than the carriers can pull the boxes.
The carriers can only pull the boxes so fast because there are only so many trucks, and truck drivers, who can only work so long.
There are only so many trucks and so many truck divers, because California's environmental and proate contracrtor laws make it difficult, if not impossible, for truckoing comanies and owner-operators, to turn a profit.

How do you solve this problem?
Get CA to suspend these laws and regs until such a time that the issue has passed.
If Biden were - actually- worried about this, he'd evoke the power of the commerce clause in the courts and force CA to back off.

But no - instead, let's use this power to threaten emploityers with $700k fines if they do not force their employees to vaccinate

Tipsy has gotten into the box wine...as usual, she has no idea what she is babbling about.

High school boys are driving the trucks.
last night on the news they brought this up and they said you have to be 21 to drive their rigs....

21 to drive out of state, 18-20 can drive in their home state only. (This is all Federal law.)

but what i heard is they usually want 21 year olds,otherwise they would have to switch drivers at every state boundary...

Many companies won't hire under 25-it's an insurance thing.

You said nothing.
