Shipping container backups are now being triggered on the East Coast while the West Coast is still trying to get back on track. Ports in New York and New Jersey all the way down to Georgia and the Gulf Coast of Texas are now feeling the impacts.
The influx has left 200,000 containers clogging up the ports in New York and New Jersey.
