Thanks for this Gerry -- a very good overview of why we should pay attention to the truckers strike at the Port of Vancouver: we have created a gateway economy that shifts the risks of supply chain disruptions to the weakest link in the chain. Delays, for weather, human error, equipment breakdown or congestion are inevitable. Under the current system, port truckers must make a minimum number of trips each day to make a living. If there is any kind of delay, they are the ones who bear the financial cost, not terminal operators, not shippers, not the port authority, not even consumers; at least, not until the truckers decide to go on strike.
