Huge delays in supply and production in the over the road trucking world. Peterbilt dealers quit taking orders until further notice and raised the base price $6000 , mean while trucks ordered at the beginning of the year are 4 for months late on delivery and incurred upcharges.
They have new trucks sitting in fields at the factory waiting on chips. And if your new truck breaks down because of emission issues, good luck finding parts.
Van trailers are like gold right now and backed up until 2023 with a price of $52,000 , $20, 000 more than you could purchase one for a year ago. And new reefer orders are a 100 grand.
Tires are up 30% if you can find them..
Freight rates are at a historical high but parts, tires, fuel and equipment prices , even used are putting a dent into profits.
The inflation cycle has begun and the dumazzes that voted this old coot and his cronies in are too dumb to realize their days of treading water are over.
God forbid they get this 3.5 trillion dollar bill passed.

It does not surprise me that a boat manufacturer would be running night shifts. Nearly all boat manufacturers are backed up with orders.
The Fall in water boat show at LOTO was cancelled because dealers had hardly any inventory.

In Florida in a non climate controlled space I'd lean to work at night anyways.

Marinas around here have been sold out for 2 summers. Best ever for some.
Motorcycles, pedal bikes, snowmobiles, kayaks, canoes, etc,etc have been mostly sold out, even before employment and shipping issues. Oh, and homes here (mot are second homes - we are located next to a big lake) have basically doubled in price.
As great as this sounds, it scares the crap out of me.

I'm in Jacksonville, fairly big city, offering same amount for a very basic painter (painting industrial pumps) and the last three guys didn't even show up to their scheduled interviews. Most don't even answer our response to set up an interview for the job ad that THEY applied for. It is not an easy time to be a small business owner. I just saw that my local short track racetrack cancelled the entire rest of their racing season because they can't get any tires now or for the foreseeable future, and this is their biggest busiest money making time of year. How bad is this going to get and for how long? Crazy times.

So long as small businesses are in competition with our government for wages offered, it ain't gonna get any better.
