Just had an employee of mine call and explain that he was having a real hard time finding fuel east of Alexandria. I havent been out of the office today, but is this something that is widespread or a localized issue with distribution. I have trucks on the road tomorrow and trying to get a feel for where I should route them.

The rumor mill has apparently begun if you’re hearing that.

The TP shortage effect will be in place by tomorrow.

ETA: “east of Alexandria” is an odd demarcation point. You won’t have any problem in LA for sure

More likely your employee just doesn't wanna work.

I filled up all of the vehicles of my family. I had a feeling gas would run out because of the hack.

Pensacola is bone dry. We aren't served by that pL but because people are now freaking out about it that has caused shortages.

I filled my tank this morning because I needed to anyway. Lucky timing.

Not shocked at all. I wish the media would shut the frick up when this stuff happens.

Maybe so but that is where he was when he ran thru three stations with no fuel. I dont have a reference for anywhere else.

There has been a shortage for a while now due to the lack of tanker truck drivers.

Went to my closest gas station and they were out of unleaded and mid-grade. Got my vehicles filled up at the Walmart station, but it was getting busy.

People will probably have to wait in line after 5 when everyone is off work.

I can say that I was in Ark area. Unleaded fuel was out at 2 stops I made.

Fortunately people can’t store very much gasoline.
