Yes, an actual shortage problem. My region is the transshipment hub for the entire Mid-Atlantic region. Part of the reason shipping is such a clusterfuck is because these docks are dreadfully understaffed. They will give you a $5000 bonus in your first paycheck if you go start a job on their loading docks tomorrow. Same story at virtually every biz around here.

Edit: don't take my word for it, though. See for yourself: https://jobs.abf.com/abfjobs/JobDetail/Carlisle-Pennsylvania...
