StratGoatCom posted:https://www.freightwaves.com/news/carriers-must-move-60k-containers-out-of-la-lb-by-halloween Is this an intentional fee to motivate movement of empty containers, or is this the result of the existing regulations that are contributing to the bottleneck? My understanding is that one of the major issues driving this bottleneck is that containers can only be stacked 2 high, meaning that surplus containers are being left on chassis. It seems really dumb that they haven't temporarily suspended these rules to help alleviate a global supply chain crisis.

So chiming in from BC, Canada. I'm in the lower mainland region that got completely cut off from the rest of the country due to flooding taking out every highway, railway, and road out of here. We have a non mandatory 30L limit on pumping gas in some areas, ground beef is in short supply, and I cannot find Hawkins brand Cheesies anywhere in town. That's all so far in terms of impacts.

Yea, I live just north up the highway from Vancouver, and am in the same isolation zone as your friend. The Lower Mainland is Vancouver + the surrounding cities and towns for around 50-100 km. We're fine. We have one of the biggest ports in the country, and road access to the US required minimal repairs so we can still get goods from you guys. It's interesting because where we do see shortages indicates what we were getting produced in country and trucked in from the east. Like those drat Cheesies.
