no slowdown due to tarrifs?

[targetdude1]

there hasnt been any? yet at my dc anyway. what gives? was looking forward to even more vns. instead no more vns last few weeks...anybody experiencing any?

they briefly mentioned it in a atm, didnt say anything substantive just theyre working to source from everywhere, mitigate the impact blah blah, literally a couple sentences

was supposed to take longer for the shortages to get inland i think 45-60 days, cali hit first, 30 days?

much ado about nothing?

Certain aspects of tarrifs have merit but when the assholes with unlimited money fuck over Mr. & Mrs. Medium Assets and jack the price up a ton of money for a starter for their RAV4, then the shit hits the fan.

My store had an ON team & used to average 10-13 trucks a week.
Our freight has dropped so much I'm seeing ONTMs working dayside just to get hours 😕

After seven months of mandatory OT last year, Inbound is approving VLE all week long with up to a dozen people out of department. Last year VLE was nonexistent this time of year. It may be better staffing but really seems much slower. Capacity seems as bad as last year so freight may not be leaving the building. We may again have OT just for capacity support.
