There is no supply shortage, just poor logistics planning by suppliers. You've got a temporary shortage, while others are facing a glut, with companies having goods they can't sell and clogging warehouses and using trailers and shipping containers as storage for lack of anywhere to put all the crap. Democrats didn't cause that, insane JIT Madness did. Nobody built up their local inventories and got caught short. That's not a govt. problem, and neither are the fake 'labor shortage claims. The Feds have been subsidizing truck driver training heavily for decades, yet the idiots still claim there is a 'shortage'; we all know they're full of $#@! and can't run drivers off fast enough, because hey, the schools turn out thousands of then every week. There must be 20 CDLs for every truck by now. If you can't find and keep good help it's your crappy work environment and high turnover rates, not any ' labor shortage'.
