No doubt the so-called truck driver shortage is a ruse designed to cover up the gasoline shortage CAUSED BY BIDEN, and his shutdowns of Anwar, Keystone, and the drilling on federal land.
Hell, with all the illegal aliens that Biden is dumping on the US, and spreading them all over the country, there would likely be a SURPLUS of drivers, and at low wage rates. Just another example of lying, scheming, scamming Democrats doing what they do.
Another FOS RWNJ, Moron.

Just
seven U.S. oil refineries out of the 18 that were down due to the Texas Freeze are operating normally as of Monday, according to Bloomberg.
Those 18 refineries that were down accounted for as much as 5.5 million barrels of crude processing capacity per day.
The restart of Shell’s Deer Park refinery in Texas could take until April, Reuters has reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the issue.
As a result of the Texas Freeze, according to Energy Information Administration data, weekly U.S. percent utilization of refinery operable capacity
dipped to 56% during the week ending February 26—the lowest operable utilization of operable capacity since the EIA began tracking the data in November 1990.

That was a result of another RWNJ Greg Abbott, not BIDEN.
RWNJ's whining about oil companies not being able to get new permits for drilling on federal land?
Why can't they use existing permits?
Why can't they drill on state lands?
Why can't they drill on private land?
Why can't they drill on their own land?
Instead RWNJ's want a handout from the "Gubmint".
