How the World Ran Out of Everything: Inside the Global Supply Chain by Peter S. GoodmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The supply chain is dependent on so many individuals. Individuals who are mostly low-wage and are treated as disposable "costs to be contained." The lack of regulations to protect those workers also plays a role.
A lot goes into trucking; truckers only get paid for the number of miles they drive. However there is much more that goes into it. They have to pick up their rig (which may have a wait time- unpaid), they have to have the rig loaded & many times there may be a wait for that (again unpaid time), and when on the road they have to plan for stops, especially at night to park and sleep. Then there is the time away from family.
Very interesting.
