“I don’t remember a time when so many extreme events were happening in shipping,” said Stifel analyst Ben Nolan, who has been covering the sector for the past 16 years.

Almost as if it were planned...

I’ve been in fortune 100 transportation for 25 years. Things are not good.

California’s communist truck emission laws! That’s the center of the cause.

I’ve acquired almost all the chattels I will need.

What we’re talking about here is a workers ability to go on parental leave

That’s per Jen Psaki.

So.

Ca rules and regs killed the trucking industry. Add in the mandate sh** and it’s another Biden mess in the works.

A lot of it.

BTW I live where I can watch the train traffic on the mainline from the Ports of LA and Long Beach to the distribution points in the lower mid west-mainly cow town.

There generally is a train every 5 minute or so going to to from. The last few days? Its been around 15 minutes.

Maybe they got problems on the line. I dunno, but its something to consider.

On further reflection. I went outside and took a look cross the valley. I can see a good 30 miles of track from here.

Not ONE train.

But the transportation secretary is changing diapers, so it’s all good.

I've been in fortune 100 transportation for 25 years.

I was an export salesman. Marine transportation was a large part of my life especially TransPac.

May I ask what your opinion is why the back ups? Ships and TEU's out of rotation? (my pet theory). As much as I read, I can't see one or two clear reasons.
