Howdy, I work for a non-profit with a "special relationship" with USCG that they created from the marine insurance underwriting industry to discharge some of thier responsibilities to ( after the US signed onto SOLAS after the Texas City disaster.) My education is marine engineering, but I also have an ITM masters. On the marine side I get involved with just about everything. If you have shipped export haz I (or one of my colleagues )have almost certainly looked at your cargo. If you have shipped export OOG by flat rack or break bulk same. I've done this all over the country at this point. I do many other things too. vains posted:that being said, the port of la/lb is performing a study on replacing their diesel jockeys with battery powered ottawas because they want to be all electric by 2025 or something. Expect more emissions controls by states on jockets, drayage / haulers in the future. This is an example of what's happening now : https://www.nwseaportalliance.com/trucks . In the future I expect an eventual push towards zero emissions for drayage in many states and nations.

Most of the managers or soon to be managers I met in grad school had absolutely no idea what the metrics in a supply chain model were actually measuring. Make the abstract number you don't understand go up, up, up ( or down). They also utterly fail to understand systems and fixate on single metrics, often the ones they have a bare grasp of (rather than the ones they don't understand at all)

After the crisis I saw Lehman and Bear Stearns guys working as ships agents for a while. None of them lasted.
