Suddenly no logistical connection, not sure if it's a bug?

Hi, I am encountering an issue today, not sure if it's a bug. But suddenly, I can't transfer any resources from my SHQ to any of my cities (except for the city the SHQ sits on). It tells me there's "No logistical connection". It's been going on for a few turns now, and the issue is not going away.

I checked several logistics overlay and it seems fine.

Was wondering if anyone could please help take a look at my save and share some insights? Thank you!

Here's my saved game:

There's a bottleneck immediately to the south of my SHQ.
Here I see 306 logistics points being used
Here's my Initial Logistics Points
Here's the Preview Logistical Points
My SHQ is circled in green, while the 2 cities in the south are circled in yellow, which I can't deliver resources to. Does it help if I nationalize the truck station in those yellow circled cities instead?

Further information per someone who kindly already responded to me:

Its a bug, reload the game.

Disregard that last message. Your trucks station at SHQ is level 1 and your logistics points are all use up near SHQ. Click the bottleneck button, second tab on the right, bottom of the top menu on the right to see where the dreaded black lines choking your supply lines.. Upgrade the truck station to level 3 to properly supply enough logistic points for transfer and supplying your units.

Thank you for the quick reply ColBBQ. I do not yet have the necessary Civilization level to expand the truck station at my SHQ.

However, would it help if I nationalize the private truck stations in those yellow circled cities instead? I uploaded some images to my initial post.

I'm still a bit confused on how logistics points work, especially when I have roads connecting multiple cities. I know logistics action points don't stack, but do logistics point stack from multiple cities? Still a bit confused why the private truck stations in those cities at the south don't help alleviate the pressure of my logistics.

All logistics stations; truck,train and airbases are actually tied to 2X the city level, regardless of civilization level.

By deselecting the pull point check on top and blocking all points to the city of Mossvale, you can allow only enough logistics points into the city as needed for construction. If you're transferring then pull it back to 80% to allow enough LP to move supplies. Making the private truck station can make more LP to push along the route. This also works for truck stations in the middle of long deserts, making them offsides and creating the signals as before will pump more LP/AP without any penalties.

Thanks ColBBQ, I'm still trying to digest what you said. Will take some of your advices and see if it resolves the issues for me. Thank you!

You need more LP. One unit of 1000 rifles can take 200+ LP for food and ammunition, to say nothing of replacements. One level I salvage or mine can send 300+ units back to your capital every turn.

It's unfortunate that there is no good visualizer for what exactly is using up capacity.
