trump s tariffs on china to try to provide some relief. that s not a panacea, but it could provide some relief. will president biden do that? will he list ft those tariffs? every idea is being taken seriously. what we re doing right now is to focus on the operations themselves. a lot of americans might be surprised to learn our ports have not generally operated on a 24/7 basis. we have secured commitments to change that. the president announced that the ports of l.a. and long beach long beach was piloting this for a few weeks. collectively, those two ports are 40% of our container traffic. they re now going 24/7. that s not a simple thing to do overnight, but it was a big commitment. we have to make sure that works its way through the chain. it s not just the gate of the port. it s getting those containers on a chassis, getting them to where they need to be and that goes to other issues in our supply chain like the availability of truckers. we are taking steps on that.
