    Plenty of fuel , the problem is the driver shortage.
    Jokes aside, last year didn't we have so much oil you couldn't give it away. We had so much there was no place to store it.
    I never imagined people going to a car dealership and ordering a car that might not be delivered for a year.

    Lol

    I just ordered a new Ford Maverick. Sounds like it might be April before it gets here. Also sounds like the 2022 model year is already sold out and they just started production last month.

    Bungee cord is a GREAT idea. So simple but never thought of that.

    They're anywhere from 30 to 50 cents a gallon higher than our discounts.

    So is Maverick.

    But if it's all there is you gotta do what you gotta do.

    I haven't started asking for an extra $300 or so per load to cover this by I think we're not going to have a choice.

    I'll bet they pony it up too.
     
    Oxbow, Tug Toy, 77fib77 and 2 others Thank this.

    The vast majority of crude that comes out of Prudue Bay, goes to Japan
