Puerto Rico is having trouble distributing the supplies that have already been delivered

NY Times:

As Puerto Rico Struggles, ‘Where Is the Cavalry?’


Residents in Puerto Rico say they are lacking basic supplies, but the White House insisted that its response has been adequate.
I have seen pictures showing shipping containers on the docks in Puerto Rico.  Ships are also lined up to offload supplies.  I think the problem in distribution comes from a lack of big rigs to get the supplies from the docks to the people.  This could be because trucks were also damaged in the storm and some of the roads are still impassable.   The military may need to bring in some trucks for the distribution effort.  Military trucks are rugged enough to deal with the poor roads.
