what's the cost of a 5 week delay sitting outside the port?
Those ships are being paid to deliver those containers to Port of LA or Long Beach. They won't go anyplace else purely to get offloaded. If the ship goes to another port, all those containers have to get rerouted and everything else. Those ships will sit there until they sink.
Depends on if someone takes the initiative to get the ground transportation setup for FL. I agree it's not as easy as we would like, but 5 weeks seems far too long to just sit there and wait
That doesn't matter. The ships are contracted to deliver to those ports, period. They won't go anywhere else because of the contracts they have in place.
