As I posted above. The drivers may have nothing to do with it. The trucking company does the routing. In the case of Schneider they have scheduled to route the drivers away from potential trouble the same as they do for hurricanes or any other potential hazard.
The fact that this story tries to connect the fact that trucks won't enter the ports has nothing to do with the actual facts.
My mother told me that she was told a couple of weeks back that she wouldn't be sent to potential hot spots.
You have a mother-trucker?
They are not OTR drivers. They shuttle the containers away from the port.
