    Because we have questionable mental health?

    My health is as mental as anyones.... well all roads are open, going to get some sleep and roll around 0200-0300. Figure the people who were stuck here should be cleared out by then.

    Speaking of too little too late across multiple administrations......

    TLDR MY take away: 6 months to clear the harbor staging in LA

    The condensed version:
    Peak of 73 ships outside of Long Beach/LA, The big freight receivers are upping there ability to receive freight by 3500 containers per week.

    Not sure if that is containers or TCU twenty foot container units. One forty foot container is 2 TCU

    The ships that come in up here carry between 2k and 4k TCU (20 foot container)

    So either way the big receivers are only upping their capacity to receive by 1 or 2 ships per week.

    LA port to open round the clock to tackle shipping queues

    How hard is it to figure out, stay open longer. Maybe they need to hirer some more workers for a few months. Union scale can be hard to beat.


    Full-time dockworkers in Los Angeles and Long Beach earn $123,278 on average, get free medical coverage and receive a pension.

    Does anyone remember a few years ago when Chinese companies were taking over managing the ports?
