Decreasing supply of Diesel Fuel and DEF Fluid

Marcus, I just listened to the CEO of Pilot stations talking to Congress regarding them being notified by the Pacific Railroad that the rail company was told to reduce the amount of diesel fuel shipped by 20%. This also is to include a shortage of DEF Fluid.
So what this means is any campers, RV's that own diesels will be effected. I would ask that the Good Sam Club send a letter, email, member forums for members to call their representatives on this matter. I just went to both Rural King and a Walmart Super Center and both were out of DEF fluid. We RV with a group of 6 all who own diesel trucks. This will totally effect our future travel as none of us want to be on the side of the road out of fuel or DEF fluid.

    Deregulation of the railroads


    This is 3rd leg of transportation deregulation, airlines, and motor carriers(trucks) are the other 2.

    I shipped fresh produce by rail for 30 years and the railroads do what's best for their shareholders, customers and employees be damned. I had a customer say many times that in a time of war the railroads wouldn't go out of their way to help the US.

    The rr will fix this when they get good and ready. And to some degree shippers that were truck dependent have hopped on rail to minimize their reliance on trucks. (Nobody wants to be a trucker cause the industry deregulated and made the trucking business miserable.)
