You may have had a difficult time finding gasoline over the weekend. Many pumps were covered in yellow plastic bags, indicating that the gas pumps were empty.
AAA Colorado is saying that the lack of gas doesn’t have anything to do with a gas shortage. It is due to not enough drivers to transport it. Many gasoline delivery drivers lost their jobs during the pandemic and took their skills to shipping services like Amazon.
Now that gasoline demand has returned, the driver shortage is causing supply chain issues.
