The Logistics Logjam

As companies scrambled to shift supply chains, the U.S. logistics sector buckled. Ports from Long Beach to Savannah experienced renewed congestion—not because of excess volume, but because of confusion. Products were rerouted mid-transit. New customs codes had to be applied. And importers—often using unfamiliar regional suppliers—struggled with documentation errors.

Trucking companies reported spikes in last-minute rerouting requests. Railroads faced overcapacity as inland hubs struggled to process diversified cargo. Warehouses couldn’t get inventory forecasts right, leading to overstocking in some areas and stockouts in others.

The sudden switch to just-in-case meant building inventory buffers. But storage was expensive—and scarce. Companies that had previously abandoned long-term warehousing strategies were now renting old retail spaces and even retrofitting disused factories to hold goods that might not even sell.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes—intended to cool inflation—made inventory financing costlier than ever. For small and mid-sized firms, this shift wasn’t just disruptive—it was existential.
