I would also mention here the Department of Labor (DOL), shippers and receivers, and the general public.
Notably, this is a very common reason for the delay of truck drivers’ shipments as there are a lot of different holidays across different countries around the world.
To continue with, the global shipments are normally affected by the national holidays whether it is at the origin port or at the destination port.
However, the truck driver stresses are present before, during and after the holidays.
After holidays are finished, the ports get very busy. Consequently, this creates congestion and affects several things including the following: the release or the delivery of containers.
Furthermore, the shipper might end up paying an inevitable demurrage, or a delay in the deliveries.
On the other hand, there are other issues which cause truck driver stresses. For example:
- Lost Containers
- Missing Documents
- Custom Exams
All of the above-mentioned are triggers to stress for truck drivers.
