U.S. manufacturers, retailers, consumers, and workers face enormous challenges stemming from freight and supply chain congestion.

The trucking industry estimates that the employer based vaccination mandate could result in the loss of up to 37 percent of drivers for covered companies.

OK, but if they are loitering out for whatever reason, slowing their speed, to say that those ships are not part of the supply chain delay is a little inaccurate.

I think tech has a role there and I have seen it used there.

I want to applaud the transportation workers who have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic to ensure that essential goods arrived safely and efficiently at their destination.

So data sharing, yes. And automation is really not that big of a help on the port.

I trust Dr. Locascio understands the critical need to uphold this reputation and prevent the agency from ever becoming politicized.
