Fuel is through the roof and drivers are costing more because of labor shortages

What are the drivers doing? Who’s paying them to stay home? Unser what policies

A good driver can make $80,000 to $100,000 a year, it would still be a hard job

Fully loaded shipping costs will make it too expensive. Most states in the US

Food prices are already up

It's going to get worse as we go into the holidays, it wouldn't shock me to see

RC Vikings

Yep, I will be shocked if we don't see lots of out of stock stuff
