Major Fuel Supplier On “Code Red” As Diesel Crisis Hits Southeast

Diesel supplies are very scarce across the Northeast and in the Southeast. Supplies are at the lowest seasonal level for this time of year, and the US only has 25 days left of the industrial fuel in storage. The crisis gripping the diesel market appears to be getting out of hand as one fuel supply logistics company initiated emergency protocols this week.

“Because conditions are rapidly devolving and market economics are changing significantly each day, Mansfield is moving to Alert Level 4 to address market volatility. Mansfield is also moving the Southeast to Code Red, requesting 72-hour notice for deliveries when possible to ensure fuel and freight can be secured at economical levels,” Mansfield Energy wrote in an update to customers on Tuesday. The trucking firm has a fleet of tankers that delivers refined fuel products to more than 8,000 customers nationwide.

Mansfield said in many areas on the East Coast, diesel fuel prices are “30-80 cents higher than the posted market average, because supply is tight.” 

“At times, carriers are having to visit multiple terminals to find supply, which delays deliveries and strains local trucking capacity,” the notice continued.

  1. Somehow, even though he’s been gone for two years, Trump will be blamed for it by Biden. It will be something along the lines of “obama had 200 years of diesel fuel stored in case of this kind of problem, but Trump wasted it all.” Luckily, Biden saw the issue and is now “working on fixing Trump’s mismanagement” and is ” talking with experts on how he can address the issue”. He will “be meeting with executives ….soon…..”
    This bozo is even dumber than obama and I cannot, for the life of me, understand how democrats can’t see that this Forest Gump of a President isn’t destroying this country at every level.
    He has spent his LIFE “serving” the public, but bever got anything accomplished. Except getting rich (!??)
    Now, the only thing he can get accomplished is adding to the 30 trillion dollar deficit and making middle class Americans choose between paying the grocery bill, the electric bill, or the gas bill so they can still go to work.
    They can pick one…..only one.
    Democrats. They ARE the enemy of everything that made this country great enough to save the world TWICE.
    Now, we are scared of the Chinese and couldn’t fight a war if we had to.
