The US Supply Chain Crisis Worsens: Double Blow of Truck Driver Shortage and Port Strike
Recently, the pressure from the US supply chain crisis has further intensified. On one hand, nearly 130,000 US truck drivers have been banned from driving due to drugged driving, with a significant portion of those who failed the test not participating in return-to-work programs, resulting in continued severe driver shortages in the trucking industry. On the other hand, a new round of strike actions by West Coast port workers has disrupted cargo operations at major US West Coast ports, with some ports even closed due to the strikes.
