Join us as we delve into episode 42 and another #MiniJozByte - examining the "the real reason" behind the Great Resignation. 

2021 held lots of twists and turns... upside-down and all the way around. The transportation industry has been on a wild ride... but what is in store for us in 2022?  

Join us for Episode 41 of JOZ BYTES, welcoming back Chris for his 2022 debut, discussing his 2022 industry predictions.

Dozens of container ships offshore from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are the most visible symbols of the nation’s besieged supply chains. The fleet of massive ships represent the magnitude of the supply chain crisis and the systemic failure of the port infrastructure to meet surging consumer demand. 

In our sixth addition of Mini JOZBytes, join us as we tackle the topic: what happened to those crowded ports?

The major shipping ports across the nation have made news for congestion and persistent bottlenecks. The disruptions impact the entire supply-chain, slowing deliveries, and contributing to higher prices. The backlog has captured the attention of all levels of government – including the White House. President Biden issued an executive order directing federal agencies to address the problems, strengthen critical supply chains, and form a supply-chain task force to work with the ports. Still, slower deliveries and surging prices are not the only adverse consequences. Extraordinary demands on ports also pose significant challenges to the environment.

Join us as we tackle the topic - the supply chain snarl at the ports + the environment.

Friday, November 5th, the House finally passed the so-called bi-partisan infrastructure bill.  The final tally, 228-to-206, showed however that the bill could hardly be labeled bi-partisan. The nearly 3,000 page bill contains $550 billion in new spending. The total $1.2 trillion figure includes annual funding allocated to highways and various infrastructure projects. Let's see the detail up close.

The latest government data shows the number of people quitting their jobs surged to a new record in August. Nearly 4.3 million people quit – that’s 2.9% of the workforce.  The previous record was in April at 2.8%, almost 4 million people.

It’s important to get this right. Businesses needed to respond to job quits. And that response would be shaped by what people believed caused the resignations.

In our third addition of Mini JOZBytes - Let’s examine the evidence presented on why there are so many job quits.

Join us for a conversation with TGS about helping to fill the void companies see by keeping their driver pools fully staffed and efficient. How regulations and HOS affect productivity and the need for greater recognition of the human capital behind one of America's essential jobs.

Join us for a chat with a Transportation/Logistics thought leader and  Founder of Supply Chain Coach Inc. He may be "semi" retired. But, he still has a lot of wisdom to impart. "Focus on efficiencies and Continuous Improvement". These words will always have an impact!
