When Will The Slowdown At Shanghai's Port Hit The U.S. Trucking Business?

Two snippets from FreightWaves' post "Xi's Lockdowns Will Pull The Rug Out From Under US Truckers This Summe" (via ZeroHedge):

According to SONAR’s ocean intelligence dashboard, it currently takes 27 days for a vessel to travel from a Chinese port to a U.S. port. Since the volume of containers from China to the U.S. started its drop on April 6, it will likely be May 3 before U.S. ports experience a drop in volume. 

And when will the U.S. trucking companies feel the effect?

It takes approximately 10 days to three weeks after a vessel arrives in the U.S. before the containers that traveled on board enter the domestic surface freight market. This would put a slowdown in trucking freight volumes related to Chinese imports between May 13 and May 24.

Yes, yes. But can you give me a time on the 13th?
