Diesel flowing again, but truckers still fuming

Canada
11/10/08

Diesel is starting to flow again at truck stops in Western Canada, but truckers are hoping the federal government can prevent another diesel shortage by regulating when refineries can shut down for maintenance.
The tanks ran dry more than a month ago after two of the three key refineries in Alberta went down. The shortage forced many drivers to go out of their way to fill up shipments arrived late and clients levied late fees.
A meeting about the problem with Natural Resources Canada officials and fuel suppliers is set for December, said Gene Orlick, a director with the Canadian Trucking Alliance and president of a Calgary trucking company.
"Let's get a good supply of fuel because it impacts the entire economy," he said.
In a letter to the Canadian Trucking Alliance, deputy minister Cassie Doyle said she shares concerns about the shortage and her staff have begun a "comprehensive study" of the issue.
