While this situation remains fluid this afternoon, Oakland Police is in the Port area and is working on keeping gates to marine terminals accessible. Gate access is available for PAOH, TraPac, Ben E.

A spokesperson for the port says one terminal is closed. She said three other terminals are \"intending to do business today\" and that the situation is \"fluid.\" The port is the fifth largest in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truckers have said they've waited up to eight hours to pick or up deliver goods.

He said that on Thursday and Friday, the terminal logged 4,700 gate moves. \"That's as busy as almost any terminal in the country gets,\" he said. \"You can't do that and have each move take six to seven hours. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They’re thinking back to the way it was two and three weeks ago,\" Lytle said, \"and not the way it is today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lytle confirmed that truckers were also mad about what they describe as abusive longshoremen at the port.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, it’s certainly a real issue,\" he said. He said he and senior terminal officials met with drivers last week, telling them that they should seek out terminal management if they felt they were being mistreated, rather than get into an altercation. Lytle said the truckers were satisfied with that solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But protesting trucker Jorge Esparza told KQED's Deb Svoboda today that \"we're only a number, and they mistreat us. They don't give us the dignity we deserve. They pretty much treat us like trash.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esparza said it's been taking him as long as 7½ hours to pick up a load, and that truckers have been losing their trucks because of the delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another trucker, J.R.
