Inflation....what inflation?

Hey dumbass, why are beef, pork and poultry products increasing? Why are gas prices increasing? Hell, why is almost everything you buy now has increased significantly since this administration took over? Democrats are such dumbasses.
 
Trucking is a major reason shelves are not as stocked as before and also why prices are up. Carriers are currently expecting close to $4/mile and customers are willingly paying it to get a truck under their shipment. I’ve never seen things this crazy. Somebody has to pay the bill.

This is probably a dumb question but why are carriers expecting $4/mile? Lack of truck drivers?
 
Not dumb at all, I ask it multiple times per day. My honest answer would be because they know they can get it right now, and being to capitalist that I am I can’t argue with that position. Driver and equipment shortages, diesel prices well over $3/gallon, restrictive hours of service rules as well as increased insurance & maintenance costs have created an imbalance in the supply chain. It’s not just an Amazon home delivery issue but a nationwide wholesale and industrial issue.

Add on top of $3/gal fuel, but the new tier4(?) engines are much less trouble free than the old engines, and when the DEF system goes bad the owner starts throwing $1800 to $3000 at it. I'm surprised they settle for $4/mile.
