"I want to speak to you about the reason store shelves are emptying and why parts of the United States are dealing with scarcities of all kinds. Some of it has to do with the prolonged shutdown of our economy that literally broke the links in our supply chains.
Much of it has to do with the trucking industry that has been ignored, slighted, taken for granted and over regulated, to the point there are not enough trucks and truckers to offload hundreds of cargo ships waiting offshore of our ports throughout the nation.
The supply chain breakage was exaggerated by way of a triple whammy of the COVID-19 lockdown as it affected truckers. Deliveries were eliminated to stores and facilities that were closed.
The truckers had a hard time finding eateries and bathrooms on the road. And too many truckers ended up getting paid more for staying home with their families rather than going to work."

Oops - to add, my family and friends never had problems getting anything to eat or finding rest stops. So, I don't know where that news is coming from. It may be true in some areas, but that was not the issue. They continued to drive during the long months of shut down and never had an issue with it. But, it is interesting to hear.
Yet, many rumors abound. For example, I would keep hearing about truckers strikes for the last year or so. I asked most of the truckers I know and not one of them heard of them. Again, it could be Walmarts people. A few friends began driving for Walmart (one of their companies - Swift). Believe me, as soon as their training time was up, they sought employment elsewhere where they were treated with respect.
