It's gotten worse and Buttigieg and Biden are making it worse.

It's gotten worse and Buttigieg and Biden are making it worse.

And you cannot prove it to be so. ALL you can do is to lie to protect your godless gawd.

TY trump, you f**king jerk:

"Arlington, Virginia — Today, the American Trucking Associations released its latest examination of the driver shortage, finding the industry needed 60,800 more drivers at the end of 2018 to meet the country’s demands for freight services.

“Over the past 15 years, we’ve watched the shortage rise and fall with economic trends, but it ballooned last year to the highest level we’ve seen to date,” said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello. “The combination of a surging freight economy and carriers’ need for qualified drivers could severely disrupt the supply chain. The increase in the driver shortage should be a warning to carriers, shippers and policymakers because if conditions don’t change substantively, our industry could be short just over 100,000 drivers in five years and 160,000 drivers in 2028.”

The report, which can be downloaded here, details the factors that contribute to the shortage, including an aging driver population, increases in freight volumes and competition from other blue-collar careers. It also outlines potential market and policy solutions. While the report covers the entire trucking industry, the bulk of the shortage is in the over-the-road for-hire truckload market."

Nope, it has not. How would he go bout doing that? he did not cheat truckers for decades. Companies did that.
Your claim. What did he do to make it worse?

He, and the Biden administration put in place rules that have reduced driver numbers while driving up costs. I demonstrated that very clearly. California isn't helping one bit on this problem.

THIS COMES AS NO SURPRISE TO ANYONE UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE EXPERIENCED BOOTYPLUG'S MAYORAL INEPTITUDE....


Amateur hour: Pete Buttigieg's inexperience exposed as supply chain breaks down


Three years ago, the only people who’d ever heard of Pete Buttigieg were likely to be residents of South Bend, Ind., the town of 103,000 people where he served as mayor.

South Bend is home to Notre Dame University. It has a bus station with a fleet of 60 buses, a small train station and a small regional airport. So, who better for Team Biden to nominate as secretary of the Department of Transportation, which employs more than 58,000 employees – more than half the population of South Bend – and has a budget of $87 billion?

After a quiet first nine months in office, the former mayor has his first crisis on his hands: a massive supply-chain breakdown exploding across the country that will impact every American, particularly the lower and middle classes. Restaurants, stores and small businesses that provide products and services to people will all be negatively affected as the cost to the consumer goes up.


Per a recent CBS News report: “A growing number of shipments are stuck at sea because of supply chain issues, leading to growing concern that holiday shipments may not arrive in time. Container ships are crowding ports from New York to Los Angeles, where 250,000 containers are floating off the coast waiting to be unloaded," the report reads.

The Washington Post ominously breaks down the situation as well. "Ships wait off the California coast, unable to unload their cargo. Truckers are overworked and overwhelmed, often confronting logjams. Rail yards have also been clogged, with trains at one point backed up 25 miles outside a key Chicago facility," the publication reported on Sunday.

One major reason this is happening is a shortage of workers to get cargo off of these ships, and another shortage of truck drivers to transport them where they need to go. A worker shortage has been a common theme throughout the first 10 months of the Biden era, where no one in the administration – including Labor Secretary Marty Walsh – has any good answers as to why it is happening.

Biden's labor secretary Marty Walsh was stumped on #AxiosOnHBO as to why eligible workers aren't filling up available jobs: "I don't think there is an answer."
