As I've posted to you multiple times on this subject, you'd see similar problems even if every product purchased in the U.S. was made in the U.S.Oh dear God your are beyond help, pathetic. Let me try once again to help you: I can assure you this port bottleneck problem would NOT be happening if the USA was self sufficient in manufacturing.
If a factory is in Ohio and not China then the truckers could use standard semi trailers and not intermodel boxes. This would alleviate 90% of the problem. Load the truck at the factory in Ohio in a standard semi trailer then off to the warehouse(s) in a few hours and not weeks stuck on a f---ing ship.. Bada Bing Bada Boom.
Ok like you are a third grader:
Good:

If a factory is in Ohio and not China then the truckers could use standard semi trailers and not intermodel boxes. Oh, would you please stop. You have no idea what the hell you're talking about. I have published reports on this subject that you can review online and download.
Let me give a brief lesson in intermodal shipping that even you can understand. Look at this photo below:
The Maersk container on the bottom is a 40-foot international shipping container.
The APL Logistics container on top is a 53-foot domestic shipping container that is sized to match the maximum length of a standard box trailer in the U.S.
The container on top was never on a ship before it was stacked on this train -- and yet there are thousands of these containers being moved across North American by Class I railroads every day.
The 53-foot container is used extensively in the U.S. for domestic freight transportation. That's because for distances over 400-500 miles, a freight railroad can transport most non-perishable commodities more cost-effectively this way than a trucking company can.
Please do us all a favor and educate yourself before you spout your nonsense here on FR.
