I remember someone posting a week or so back about grocery shelves being more empty lately, or at least that's what I think was posted. I've noticed that also. Seems the grocery stores near me aren't stocked up as much as usual. I assumed it was some sort of trucking issue or supply chain issue, but I haven't heard about any national trucking issue. I just needed to take my car in for repair and they said they need to order parts. They said it used to be a day or two to get the parts and now it could be a week or two. She mentioned something about shortage of truckers.
So I'm wondering what's going on? I haven't heard of any trucking strike/slow down. I doubt the truckers are moving, en mass, to a new profession. Is it the increase in gas prices? I can understand how that would lead to higher prices of goods but not slowdowns in delivery.
Truck drivers taking unemployment gravy train too? Seems the whole country is at the trough.
Not likely. There was never any trucking layoffs. They actually eliminated our DOT hour regulations right after the covid hoax started in order to keep trucks moving.
