A friend of mine is a diesel mechanic. I was talking with him a few minutes ago when I ran into him while walking my dog, and he said his company is preparing for the impact. He is still a couple years away from retirement.
What did he say they would/could do?

As of now because of high fuel prices and shipping costs our grocery loads from Minnesota and Omaha going to WA and CA have been completely shut down until further notice. The shipper told us it’s no longer feasible to ship the products.
