Gas may be harder to find despite plenty of supply.

With the pandemic easing, more people are hitting the roads every day. However, drivers may soon discover that gasoline is harder to find.

David Price with United Petroleum Transport said it is not because there is a lack of gasoline supply, rather, a lack of fuel tanker drivers to deliver gas to gas stations.

“I think it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better,” Price said. “We need dedicated folks to join us to keep America moving forward.”

As the pandemic raged, people stopped driving. Price says supply for gas went down, and many tanker truck drivers retired or starting driving for other industries like Amazon.

But now demand for gasoline has jumped, and companies like United Petroleum can’t deliver gas fast enough.
