I got a new car a couple months ago .. she is a snob. Big surprise...her canned food is $50 for a 24 pack!!!

It's the only stuff she will eat. I think it's time to reassess our politicians

You feed your car canned food? Interesting.

(I know you meant "cat".)

Watched a youtube vid lastnight, guy saying another reason is, we are send OUR reserves over to the EU to help them??? Since Putin's cut off supply to a bunch of other countries.....Here we are running low, and the powers that be are giving our stuff away?? Jeezus when will someone use their god given brains in better ways....We are NOT the worlds guardian !!

Dominoes will fall, westward,and effect gasoline as well. No diesel,no fuel deliveries=big DUHHH, or any other deliveries as well. Is the SHTF or what? SMH

This is correct. Can I link here? If so, here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-18/texas-port-sends-strategic-u-s-oil-to-europe-amid-supply-crunch

Thanks, Brandon.

I missed that, first time around, haha!

Might be a good 'substitute' for the fuel shortage, LoL !! (Not formula, sadly...)

I was at one fuel loading terminal last night when the terminal operator said one of his diesel tanks is empty, and the other only has a few inches of product remaining.

Today my slip seater spent 3.5 hours hopping between 5 different terminals trying to find some diesel to load. Everyone was out.

My company doesn't serve any of the major truck stops currently, but I imagine they are having similar difficulties. Make sure your tanks are full heading into the east coast. And keep them topped off at every opportunity.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
