My son is an OTR trucker, his company just fired more than half of their drivers(163 out of 268?) They are trimming the fat and don't want drivers that are holding trucks and not getting the most out of the routes.

They know what is coming, although no one is saying it.

Was noticing gas/diesel prices around here yesterday. There are some stations with just under $3/gallon regular ($2.97, $2.99), their diesel prices were all between $4.89-$4.99/gallon. That is truly a crazy price difference between the 2. 67% higher roughly

What makes anyone think this administration would limit or ban exports to help AMERICA? That sounds like crazy talk.

Let's see. Entity manufactures a crisis, and the public expects the some ones that created the crisis to fix it. To believe something like that you would have to also believe that they didn't manufacture all of these problems on purpose. Good luck living in fantasy land if that is what you believe.

with less than 25 days of diesel in reserve along with the impending winter crunch, what is the best play to hedge against a potential impending fuel shortage disaster?


Energy stocks, but you're a little late to the game.

That is the supply in the chain and how long it will last if the refineries shut down and exports stop. I do not see all the refineries shutting down. MSM exploiting the facts.
