Empty gas stations?

[hollohas]

Had a customer say their fleet trucks were reporting empty stations today.

Didn't think much of it until my drive home when I ran into a few completely sold out gas stations myself, including the diesel. I didn't even see that in-person during the initial covid freakout.

In fact, I've NEVER run into a sold out gas station in my life. I know it happens, but it's a first for me. Wouldn't have even had a second thought if someone hadn't told me they'd had problems too. Kinda weird.

Any word what's up?

We had them in the Fountain area this past weekend!!!
Don’t worry Joe is importing oils from Russia.....

The shortage is due to the lack of truck drivers to transport the fuel I have read. Why work when you can collect from the Gov.

This is why pipelines are so important. Higher efficiency and safer.

Several pumps for regular gas were closed in Buena Vista last weekend. Only diesel available. Monday several stations by my house in Westminster had the regular pumps closed.

Have a buddy that works for a fuel delivery service. They can't find drivers even at $75k a year.

Lack of delivery drivers makes sense.

Just an FYI, there are stations out of gas in the Springs too. I hope this doesn?t last long.

I?d sure prefer a mean tweet and $2 gas readily available to this mess.

Haven?t seen any that are out, but the prices are still climbing down here in COS.

Somewhat related story. For 2 days gas stations were out, or very low on the sandwiches they sell. Deli express brand mainly , but the other brands were effected as well. No drivers. Pretty crazy how all the drivers workin a year and a half ago have suddenly vanished off the planet. That’s sarcasm.

Last weekend some stations on the north side of the Springs didn't have gas but had diesel. Yesterday the same ones only had gas. Crazy times. Costco seems to have been immune to this, but the lines were incredibly long. Wish they had diesel here.
