    Yeah they got them, ipa and all that gentrified beer crap has four packs, was going to sample one brand, looked at the price ($14) and put it right back into the cooler. $3.5 a bottle, nope.

    I was about to say the same. I went home this weekend and if the shelves were partially stocked that's a blessing. Over in Memphis, it's dozens of ½ stocked stores there.

    Beer hasn't inflated anywhere but at the truck stop and some convenient stores from my vantage point. I still could get a couple 12 packs for under 20 at home. I got some tall boys after the fact, but I couldn't remember how much they were because I had drunk one of the 12 pks lol

    I need some of that Hamm's in my life. I'd still give 5 bucks for a 6 pack of Hamm's. You won't need much more than that if you plan on getting up in the morning. PBR is legendary too. The way to fight inflation: drink cheap beer. If Gennessee goes up significantly, then a recession definitely is here lol

    It’s nobody getting together I promise you that. I’m mostly a carrier but do have a brokerage. We are having to post our email as contact because our phone lines get overwhelmed with calls on posted loads. The emails pour in. There is simply way too many trucks competing for too little freight. It’s very much a race to the bottom right now.
