    "The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Sunday, May 9, issued a regional emergency declaration to waive hours of service regulations for drivers hauling fuel.
    The waiver, effective until June 8, was issued in conjunction with the cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline, which disrupted the fuel supply on the East Coast. The waiver applies to Alabama, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
    It applies to truckers hauling gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other refined petroleum products."

    Wouldn’t be surprised if a price hike does indeed occur,it’ll be mostly along the I-85 corridor from Alabama into Virginia,as a good portion of the pipeline runs parallel to it.
    If or when it happens,it’s gonna suck for those who bought $40-$60K pickup trucks that get less than 20 mpg.

    A year ago they were talking about 1 dollar gasoline. Now they're going to be talking about 4-5 dollar gasoline haha.

    Might not really have been a cyber attack. Who really knows.

    When a criminal shut down Keystone XL a few months ago, there were no consequences, and we the people are paying the price.

    Now a criminal has shut down Colonial, and the results will be the same.

    11 years ago they were paying that much in Hawaii. About 5 years ago we were paying that much here on the mainland.
