On the other hand, anything Biden does will only make it worse. We can’t even hope that he will keep things as they are now.

Would a stringent vaccine mandate help relieve this shortage?
If the Vax Mandate is not stopped it going to get a lot worse.
A lot of truck drivers came out of retirement to drive due to the shortage. The chatter on the trucker websites is a lot of them will quit rather then get the Vax.
Each week it's a little worse.
Of course, we're good for 4 - 6 months without resupply, but don't want that clock to start just yet....
B-but muh automated self-driving trucks will totally be a thing in 10 years.

Brilliantly played!
Chewy is out of stock of my dogs prescription dog food.
I have extra, but not that much.
There are places that have it still, and I’m trying to figure out how many months to get.
The various Truckers Associations and thier Unions really are in the Drivers Seat regarding this situation and I wish they would start Acting like it.
Since they are ALL Required to take Random Drug Tests and be entered into the National Clearinghouse database, NOTHING Prevents them from Requiring a CLEAN DRUG TEST FROM EVERY PUBLIC EMPLOYEE in the Cities they Deliver to, and I would include ALL JUDGES AND LAWYERS.
PEE in this Cup, or NO DELIVERIES to your City.
ps, if anyone FAILS the Drug Test there will be an Immediate 909 Restriction put in place for Deliveries in your City, County, State...
Shortage of truck drivers....
Well, forward thinking people said they wanted driverless vehicles. There are thousands of sidelined trucks now.
Around 2000 I clearly remember a news story that surveys showed 40% of truck drivers had enough drugs or alcohol in them at any random given time while driving to be legally labelled "impaired."

A friend of mine has had problems with dry dog food - it gets moldy after a few months. So consider putting some in a freezer. I believe dog food can last for at least six months there.

Doubling the price of diesel and adding a few hundred new pages of regulations should handle the problem... /s
It’s not a “supply chain” problem. It’s a de industrialization and off shoring problem.
Only 3% of truckers are in a union.
Supply chain issue is entirely self inflicted.
I went shopping today and stocked up on some stuff.
Scored big on some boxes of Ball lids and bands for under $4 per box.
I was shocked because I know what the bands and lids go for.
I bought some.😁
I went to two different CVS stores last week looking for a particular brand/type of shampoo.
I ended up buying a small bottle at the second location in the CVS brand only in the smallest bottle they made.
It made me wonder IF this Neutrogena TGel shampoo was made overseas or in the USA?
Biden’s slogan should have been, “Make America Venezuela!”
After 2 years of trucking, no thanks.
