| Law of supply/demand here, prices went up usage went way down, price stabilized where the station owners here say use has not yet increased so will sit at this level at least until oil per barrel goes up again. Cousins stated more storage going up in refinery tank farms, having to store more as demand waned. |

| Remember the state gas taxes also can have an impact on the price. |

It was announced on the local TV news this morning that gas $$ "might" spike later this spring/early summer due to the lack of tanker drivers  !! Experts "claim" that the supply is there, just not delivery aspect

The Truck driver shortage began some ten years ago As kids avoided skills level jobs for college being pushed by educators to work with their minds only We receive what they pushed for No one to do day to day necessity jobs. |

Actually IS a Driver Shortage, Not one single trucking company is at full staff, most are down anywhere from 10-30% of workforce they once had and still have adds everywhere asking for applicants that do not arrive. In 2017 were just over 17,000 shortfall, 2019 that was over 60,000, currently at over 80,000 and climbing. https://www.ccjdigital.com/business/article/14940101/driver-shortage-to-keep-capacity-tight-in-2021-and-beyond" rel="nofollow - Driver shortage to keep capacity tight in 2021 and beyond | Commercial Carrier Journal (ccjdigital.com)

| I know there is,I sold out and retired a year ago April, 46 years as an owner operator,the last 10 years seemed twice as long as the first 36, the shortage of drivers was self inflicted by letting sales departments run operations, insane discounts on freight,lease purchase programs,not to mention a high handed DOT. Bottom line is they did it to themselves,you want to pay peanuts expect monkeys.I was extremely disliked by sales departments and brokers, I had no problem saying no to heavy and or cheap loads. |

CDL drivers in this area are in very high demand. I talked to a guy a while back that had about 100 trucks. He said he cut down 20 trucks (they haul mostly produce) because he couldn't get dependable CDL drivers. Hauling fuel is worse because you have to have Haz-Mat and tanker endorsements. A lot of drivers don't want to haul Haz-Mat. |
