The holiday season is maybe two months away, but experts are advising shoppers to start making their lists now, due to transportation supply chain issues. John Hauslauden with the Minnesota Truckers Association says they continue reeling with a shortage of drivers. He says it’s important to remember “if you got it, a truck brought it”: “Everything that we count on for our quality of life and our very survival spends some time on a truck. Whether it’s coming to or from a distribution center, or retail store, delivery to your home, coming from a port. It all spends time on a truck. Trucking is what makes the economy go.”
Continued COVID-19 outbreaks caused workers to miss shifts, close port terminals, keep truckers home, and slow cross-border movements.
