they will figure a way to blame trump

the chicken breast i usually buy  out of stock  whole pork tenderlion bought for years  out of stock  lots of thing

i am 70-  never have i seen this

I think it must be the area where you live. We have plenty of chicken stocked....plus I bought REALLY nice pork tenderloin chops today for $1.18/# ....That being said, I think beef has gone a little high. 

At the heart of this supply chain chaos is a labor shortage.  Biden said that UPS, FedEx, Walmart, would extend their hours and ports would stay open 24/7 but if you don't have the labor to deliver you can't deliver...  The docks are hurting for workers.  The regulations are stifling truck drivers with an already shortage of drivers.  To watch the ships sitting and idling is wild.  There was a certain stretch of interstate I use to drive that would have a constant flow of container trucks going to and from the ports.  I use to dread the drive but not now unfortunately due to the terrible circumstances.  It is all but dried up.

To try and blame this on Trump would be a contradiction of what Mayor Pete says is behind the supply chain problems.  Yep ole Joe has successfully pulled the country out of the terrifying recession.  Demand is up because income is up.  What is up is gas, food, shipping, clothes, services, etc.  As Tom Cotton so rightly stated, Pete Buttigieg couldn't organize a one car funeral.

Evidently the docks in LA are one of the least efficient in the industry to top everything else.  It takes five to eight days to unload one cargo ship.  That may be the  norm but that's a long time.

When you take a chain saw to our oil and gas industry as the Biden administration has done, thus asking OPEC to increase production and giving them sway over our economy, there will be no end to catastropies.  These trucks take a lot of fuel.

I agree.

How many of you think oil will go past $100 a barrel?  It is hard to believe we were once energy independent.   Ironically the oil companies and making bank and everyday folks taking the brunt of Biden's energy policy.  

The price of crude oil was the highest in 2008 ($147/Barrel) ...... did you blame George W. Bush for that? 

Your point is you want to prop of Biden and not allow anyone with a differing opinion to share their view without a fight. 

Let's be honest Norma.   Are you here to discuss or start a fight?   Because if all you are here for is to fight than you are part of the problem.   If we cannot discuss without always playing politics then we are doomed.   I have already defended Powell and taken down Bush.   Norma going to do to try and get along with those that don't agree with you?

I asked you a simple question and get a lecture .... just like yesterday when you defended a person who has NEVER said anything nice to anyone on this board! Oil prices ARE a political issue ...... BUT you and others seem to forget that it does not ALWAYS fall on the head of the President whether it be a Republican or Democrat. And I was pointing out THAT fact !!! NOT defended Biden ....but YOU jumped to that conclusion ..... Sorry if THAT offended you but I try to deal in FACTS! 

Fact is commodities analysts predicted before Biden took office that his policies would create higher oil prices.  Forbes who tends to run favorable to Biden has a recent article that does not fault current high oil prices as a result of Biden's policies but and this is the part of the article that gets glossed over; per the article his policies would more than likely contribute to higher prices in the future.

Trump made our country energy independent.  He was proud of that and should have been.  On the first day in office, Biden bowed to the Green Energy left and killed everything with one stroke of his little pen.  With most of the policies he destroyed that day, including the border, he changed our country for the worse and forever when it comes to immigration.  He has never taken the time to think things through, but thinking isn't his best event.

yes calif  has banned o/o  i know all the trucking company ours included  told those in ca    move or lease is terminted

calif  is nuts    i am in trucking   its crazy

Did you know that Pete Boot-Edge-Edge took two months family leave during this debacle without even leaving anyone in charge.  Evidently Pete and his husband had a baby and needed to bond.  Gads........

my question  propane  we export a lot    why can not we convert to propane

i see article i know   there are truck pick up 

why  not

We used to run a pick-up on propane.  For some reason it felt dangerous but probably no more so than any other fuel.

Florida invited all ships to come around and down. Ports are wide open and errbody is working. 

DeSantis

speaking of ports  we are truckers  do a lot for kubota  they had a ship just dock at savannah  over  weekend last  by monday we were loading there getting product to them

Trucking is not the sole issue. 

Union dock/cranes unloading ships.

Look up how much a crane operator makes and hours compared to the pics and videos I've been seeing of trucks sitting in the port to get loaded...

It must be very hard these days to be a Biden supporter.  I can't think of a single thing he's done right, no matter how hard I try to be objective.  Someone mentioned how the Secretary of Transportation, Peter Butt-edge-edge,  had been on "Paternity leave" as this log jam of ships was reaching critical mass.  Almost every person he appointed on his cabinet or various high positions was based, first and foremost, on race, gender, or sexual orientation, including the cackling opportunistic slut he appointed as his running mate. 
It's amazing to me to compare the Trump presidency to this catastrophe, and even more amazing to look back at what Trump said would happen under a Biden administration.  Not even Trump fully realized the mess Biden would create.  I was thinking of listing all his catastrophic decisions, but everyone knows that list all too well.

What's even more disheartening is that he's just getting started.  Here's the deal though.  I honestly don't think Biden really fully realizes what he's doing.  The power brokers in the Democrat party recognized he was just demented enough to be trained and programmed, but not so demented that he was in a full blown vegetative state.  Unelected Marxist progressives in the deep state are really running the show, but they are really under the control of wealthy liberal globalist oligarchs.  Those same oligarchs and their unlimited financial resources also manage to control an awful lot of Republicans.  Because of this, our runaway debit is exponential, and both parties spend money and rack up unimaginable debt.  No politician in today's world can urvive without supporting wasteful spending.  Remember the huge $900 billion "porkulus" bill from 2009?  In today's world that is paltry.  Now it looks like anything under $2 Trillion is deemed inadequate.  This is nothing new.  Our founding fathers predicted it.

They actually have a fueling station for propane right down the road from my work.  Outside the P&G and Pfizer plants.  It is never busy.  As in, I can go a week (eat lunch across the street from it), and never see a truck fueling.  The problem is there are no mechanics to work on the trucks and the fact that the stations are not readily available for refueling.  

Raven is about the only truck line that does use it.
