The fuel supply problems actually caused by the shortage of truckers were such a minor issue that I doubt even the people affected by it would've noticed - a handful of petrol stations ran out in the entire country, and there's always the odd one that has some problem or another anyway. I think they'd been going on for a while too with nothing much changing. The widespread shortages that actually impact people are all due to the panic buying.
