Ran into that in the city as early as Wednesday at UFA and petrocan. Just seems to be the cardlocks here in town. Refiners forget winter was coming again and not make enough additive?

been trucking hard the last few weeks, so far whitecourt is the only place I've seen any shortages. both petro can and UFA cardlocks only open during business hours. no problems anywhere else between fox creek and ft mac

Whitecourt cardlocks

Husky @ 43 & 32 North: No restrictions, but low supply
Petro Pass Hwy 43: Open 6-10am, 4-8pm 7 days a week depending on supply
UFA Hwy 43 6am-7pm M-F, 8am-5pm sat closed sun
Flying J Open when they have fuel
Petro Pass 42nd street: Open when they have fuel

As mentioned low supply in surrounding areas as well. Makes it interesting to say the least!

I was just telling contractors a couple weeks ago that it must be time.
Every year this time for the last 4 years . Same ****.
Cause shortage jack prices , pay for repairs and turn around.
Isn't going to change either until we get more completion .
But hey let's send all raw product out of province and have it refined because that will help.

Happens every year, for some reason they do their shut down's mid aug to mid sep then spend the rest of the winter trying to play catch up. We have to pre order ours just to make sure we can make it through to may.

Lots of diesel here at the Co Op cardlock. Harvest is over so we should be good to go.

I remember at one point there was a sign there saying you were limited to 600 liters a day but so far nothing here for this year?
