Initially I thought it was an interesting article; after reflection I realized how hard the author was trying to convince me of his argument. Also, I think the ports are backed up due to EO 13848, not some chassis part.
IMO this all seems to be something like you mentioned as well as these types of cascading failures that can occur with inefficient systems.
When dealing with "just in time" deliveries now to minimize warehouse space, any failures can be compensated, but pretty quickly can look like the half-empty shelves that are shown in many places.

I'm a trucker. I go to the ports once in a while. He's correct.
