Driver Shortage Leads To Gas Supply Issues At Some Stations

Statewide Iowa — Some gas stations were having trouble getting their normal supply of fuel going into the holiday weekend.

FUEL IOWA spokesman John Maynes says there is enough gas — it’s a matter of getting it delivered.

He says some outages happen as the demand picked up from holiday travel.

He says those partial loads of gas can be enough in some cases and in others they aren’t.

Maynes says the gas shortage will most likely be the most visible during times of higher demand, but the actual shortage of truck drivers could be ongoing for some time as the industry looks to get younger workers learning the skill.
