I see your point, but don’t these ports work around the clock anyway?
From what I have read the answer to that is no. I would assume that some parts of the port work around the clock, but not all do. The reason according to what I read is that there were not enough trucks showing up to be loaded at night, but I also read that truckers were saying the crane operators were not loading trucks in retaliation for complaints and slowing things down on purpose.
Lots of finger pointing and I assume red tape, but the bottom line is that someone is making money off of all of this and that someone or somebody wants to keep it that way.
