> I suspect that our largest improvement would come from investment in transportation infrastructure for goods -- all of that is super choked right now and it affects everything. Just an FYI, any remaining supply chain issues are not really transportation related at this point. We ship several containers a month from Asia to the ports of LA/Long Beach and we haven't seen delays on either side of the Pacific in a while at this point. The other major issue we faced in 2021 was getting containers out of the port complex and on a truck to their final destination. Those delays have also been resolved at this point. We're also seeing transportation prices come down. Trucking is still expensive because of fuel costs, but ocean rates are way, way down. The most we paid for a container from Vietnam to LA/LB last year was $22,000. Right now we're getting quotes for $4,600. |
