It’s been four years since the start of the pandemic, and there are still supply chain issues in the U.S.
Western Michigan University marketing professor Dr. Bruce Ferrin says everything pretty much shut down at the start of the pandemic, and some areas haven’t fully recovered.
“On top of that some of the aspects of the supply chain like the transportation component of logistics, in the U.S. the trucking industry has been struggling to recruit cross-country drivers since the 1980s and during the “stay at home” phase of the pandemic, a number of drivers basically left that occupation,” Farrin said.
Ferrin says trucking companies have been struggling to find drivers ever since.
