Worth A Read

The shipping crisis from the perspective of a truck driver. Worth a few minutes of your time.

As a former trucker driver, although not the same level of experience, I can attest to much of what this driver has to say. The Just In Time (JIT) method of shipping fulfillment had always been run on a razors edge. But it worked because all players were making money. And, what hiccups that were encountered, were fairly simple to overcome.

But the covid virus lockdowns and associated work slow downs was more than a hiccup. The result was what we are seeing today. Shortages everywhere, and all kinds of products.

His solutions are simple, but they could be effective. But he does make the point that it is going to get worse before it gets better. 

Is this crisis by design? With else that has been going on around, it makes me wonder.
