Another Shortage Looming - Very Bad
[NewsOn6] Truck drivers already struggling with extremely high fuel prices are also dealing with more expensive Diesel Exhaust Fluid, which is a key product needed for most everything that runs on diesel.Truck drivers with newer models must fill up their DEF tank about every other fueling, which is more expensive. Now, there's a possibility of some shortages, which is adding to the problems. "We used to spend about $500 a week on fuel, we’re now spending $1,200," said Larry Miles. Larry Miles has been driving a truck since 1959. He now works in the safety department at John Christner Trucking and said the prices of fuel and now DEF are really hurting truckers. "About every other fueling, you have to duel your DEF tank up," Miles said. This shortage is connected to Russia's invasion of the Ukraine. A lot of the input material for this product is made in Ukraine and Russia. If shortages become severe it threatens all products delivered by trucks, including food.
