The NEWS says the California port situation is caused by a driver shortage. Not so fast: It is in part caused by a California Truck Ban which says all trucks must be 2011 or newer and a law called AB 5 which prohibits Owner Operators. - The Great Awakening

That's not possible because the semi trucks just take the whole container on a special trailer. A pickup would need to open and unpack them.

There are tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of containers stuck at those ports. Each one needs a truck.

Truck are not the problem, it's the chassis that carry the containers. There's a massive shortage of them, More containers than chassis to carry them.

It's been that way forever, it's how it works.

Yeah, a truck and trailer. I was thinking something along the lines of shortening the distance the semis needed to travel, flip to pickups, then continue. But the CA laws wouldn't let that fly either.
