Our logistics issues have absolutely nothing to do with COVID. The 100+ container ships sitting off of the coast of California, waiting to be unloaded, are there because of the policies of the Federal Government and the Draconian environmental regulations and laws of the State of California. Our trucking industry has so many behind the scenes regulations, coupled with a shortage of drivers, a backlog is inevitable.
The unions and politicians in California have made the Long Beach and LA ports two of the world's least productive and customer friendly. It doesn't matter if they start operating 24/7. They don't have the gumption to react to a crisis. Even if there was an effort, because of the back log, you don't have enough truckers to bail them out.
