Diesel crunch worsens * Canada - Supply weeks from normal
Smack dab in the middle of the prairies the price of diesel fuel for once isn't cheaper than anywhere else in Canada. Most likely western truckers would gladly pay no matter the cost - if they could actually find it
Edmonton,ALB,Canadá -Today's Trucking -27 Oct 2008: -- ... A critical shortage of diesel fuel in western Canada has left many truckers running on fumes. And a full recovery is still weeks away, we're told... A combination of planned and unplanned maintenance shutdowns at a trio of refineries in Alberta drastically cut the supply of diesel at the beginning of October... Several service stations and cardlocks across the prairies went dry and the outlets that did have diesel at the pumps began rationing the fuel... Carriers in Alberta and the rest of the prairies still report fuel rationing and cardlock closures... Orlick runs a fleet of a less than 50 trucks that don't venture much beyond Alberta's borders, but it still takes a lot of fuel to trek up and down the province...
