Over the last few weeks all of my vehicle up fitters are now back to telling me anywhere between 12-18 weeks for bodies, truck toppers and van interiors

If it's domestic issues, there's likely a problem with employment, getting people to fill roles and jobs. There's a lot of job openings and people aren't filling them, from the lowly retail store staffer, to drivers, warehouse fulfillment, production line worker to skilled labor, there's just not a lot of people going into these fields thus, things have slowed.

Overseas production issues are likely to be much wider and likely further up the stream issues like tariffs, raw material shortages, someone didn't pay their bills, etc...

There is a busy gas station at US 41 and Commerce Dr. here in MQT. I have stopped for gas twice in the last two weeks in the early afternoon and found it closed.

Well, there's that Baltimore harbor thing. That's a major port for goods coming in.

Seems to me like ops normal for a third world communist country that the dems and uni party republicans are trying to turn us into. I expect more of this not less.
