Isn’t it amazing it is only 2 years after Trump.
Think that.
And the child groper is just getting started. We haven’t yet become close to feel the true pain he wants to bring on we disobedient serfs. It was 2.50 a gallon pre child sniffer in NW Oregon, Now, 6.60 a gallon. NO ONE should believe, for one second, that this is not planned by this disgusting administration.
From a well known trucker on Twitter:

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.
Would it be more efficient w.r.t. diesel to simply start doing double or triple trailers as a rule?
And Latin America
More profitable
I have read elsewhere that truckers are being forced to curtail some routes to make ends meet/breakeven. And that one of the more unprofitable routes is into Florida. There may bebdry spots all over the country where the big trucks won’t be able to go in order to stay in business. Don’t know if smaller operators can make up fr the difference.
I’m planning as best as can. I have oil heat. All fuels will be up. Considering propane tanks as backup, even if only to run a fireplace.
I am a huge fan of his and a couple other truckers on Twitter. They are our boots on the ground and I am paying attention to what they are saying.
Just tried to access his tweets..account is saying suspended! Again. Wtf..
Ignore my last. I was looking at older accounts..needed the one that ends with 27..
We will likely be living in a travel trailer next winter up in the mountains while our new house is being built. Maybe it will end up being a blessing.
I can predict a home heating crisis in the Northeast and other cold regions. Fuel is almost unaffordable at these levels, wait until they double, again. I'll put up lots of wood this Summer.
Did you see that going through nowhere, Nevada his driver’s side window went boom? Glass everywhere. Casper and he both okay.
Things are getting bad, and I wondered if it was deliberate. Take out the window, hijack truck, steal cargo.
“Would it be more efficient w.r.t. diesel to simply start doing double or triple trailers as a rule?”
I’m not a truck driver, but I would assume — all things being equal — that the heavier the load, the more fuel is consumed.
Heck no, I did not! Omg, I amnthankful he and Casper are okay. Really good guy and wonderful companion.
My first thought was, “I hope Casper is okay.”
Getting scary out there for our truckers.
