Ogion, as someone who actually worked in the Logistics field for FedEx, and was a Regional Transportation and Logistics Coordinator, I am curious what you think the 'fix' to the problem is.
As I understand the biggest problem isnt the 'aid', there is over 10K containers already there to get unloaded. Thats a LOT of aid, and apparently more than double that here in the US ready to ship.
The bigger problem is the infrastructure of the island is demolished, and it was already not that great without a Cat 5 beating them into the dirt.
The other problem is lack of truck drivers As i understand from reading, only 15% of the truck drivers have even reported back to work, and the cell towers being down makes it hard for them to contact the rest, but of course diesel needs to be brought in, to run the trucks.
So, there is a lot of aid to be distributed, but the lack of diesel and drivers is really the biggest problem. And without drivers, it wont matter how much diesel is on the island, they cant deliver it from the ports.
Being an island makes this problematic already, butt the hurricane did more damage than can be repaired in 3 weeks.
Priority for them shoudl be 1) cell towers) 2) diesel 3) getting drivers, either local or bringing them from stateside, and then we can move onto the rest of the issues. The distribution network is demolished, and is lacking the most important part...drivers.
Not sure how many drivers we would get stateside, as I understand our own mainland demands has broker rates high, meaning there is more freight than drivers need right now here, so getting drivers would have to be local.
