Ridgewood NJ, first it was toilet paper , now its gasoline. Concerns grow about shortage of gasoline at filling stations this summer. The shortage would have nothing to do with gasoline supply , but more a case of a shortage of qualified truck drivers to get the gas from the refineries to the stations.
The net result is that you could find gas stations running dry this summer. According to Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, “Demand for truckers is very high, and with gasoline demand rebounding, it’s been a challenge in some areas of the country where gasoline demand was especially brisk, like spring break destinations, for stations to stay ahead of the demand with fewer truckers”
He adds, “The issue this summer won’t be the gasoline itself—refineries have ample capacity thus far—but with drivers who have hazmat certification who can move the gasoline.”
The pay sucks
I have CDL and wouldn’t get out of bed for what they pay.
All the foreigners who work as owner-operators took the work and now they wonder why qualified drivers have found other jobs… go buy a tesla
With all these undocumented individuals will get be able to get licenses now. This is just great
You know that is Unfuck in believable that a fuel delivery tanker driver is driving around a bomb, and yet they are paid not that well what’s wrong with us.
