Your first link to an article said, “White House: Walmart, FedEx, UPS to go 24/7 to address supply bottlenecks.” Insinuating that they weren’t already operating 24/7. That’s not the same as saying they will increase services as your second link says.

Well second link says …”Senior administration officials said on a call Tuesday evening that the carriers "will make commitments towards moving to 24/7 working during off-peak hours" at key ports in Southern California.”. So lots of areas where they aren’t working 24/7. These companies are much bigger than the parts we see.

So more than one carrier made commitments towards moving to 24/7, at more than one locations in all of Southern California. Is that it? Ok, I guess they caught us red handed. We don’t operate 24/7/365 after all. I take it back.

A deepening freight logjam is defying President Biden’s hopes of restoring normal cargo movements, hampering the economic recovery and threatening consumers’ holiday shopping plans.

Two weeks after Biden administration officials announced steps toward round-the-clock operations at the nation’s chief port complex, the backlog of ships anchored off the coast of Southern California has only grown larger. There is little sign that truckers are taking advantage of terminals’ extended hours to move containers off the crowded docks.
At APM Terminals’ Pier 400 in Long Beach, Calif., the largest such privately owned facility in North America, nearly half of the 2,000 available appointments for truckers went unused Friday, according to Maersk, which owns the site.

So much for central planning.
