This "article" looks at a problem and tries to guess what the causes are. This without actually checking if those guesses are correct, or knowing too much about why the US is so much more troublesome than anywhere else.
e.g. it completely skips over the reliance on chassis to do anything on a US terminal. Anywhere else in the world and the terminal setup is quite different. Another issue is that most other places in the world work 24/7, unlike US terminals. This is coupled with a really strong but strange union (preventing any changes) on the US terminal side, while trucks are more or less abused.
It complains about things (globalization) that on its own aren't bad. What's bad is that various governments did nothing to prevent that only a few benefitted from that globalization in e.g. US/Northern Europe.
Then it points towards some law that's a US law and not global. It's a bit strange to ignore China->Europe trade.
