DailyKenn.com — Fuel for your vehicle will be in short supply this summer, according to CNN.
Shortages typically translate into higher prices as demand outstrips supply.
If you believe the left-leaning news channel, the shortage will be due to a dearth of tanker-truck drivers. That conveniently shifts the blame away from Biden's climate change policy and pipeline shutdown.
Trucking companies must increase wages to attract drivers; costs that are passed on to retailers who, in turn, pass them on to consumers. Consumers demand higher wages and the inflation cycle comes full circle. Then, it starts a new cycle as trucking companies must raise wages even higher.

According to the National Tank Truck Carriers, the industry’s trade group, somewhere between 20% to 25% of tank trucks in the fleet are parked heading into this summer due to a paucity of qualified drivers. At this point in 2019, only 10% of trucks were sitting idle for that reason.
