Here is the hacker news comment thread. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29022124 It kind of missed the mark though. What it seems like it’s that there is actually a trucker surplus. The actual port facilities have broken and gotten jammed to the point of not being able to service existing truck capacity. So you have 100s of trucks waiting because they are not getting loaded quickly enough. Truckers waiting is not a trucking shortage. Warehouse worker and port worker shortages seem to be the problem.
