The Brazilian Truckers Strike of 2021 (last month) was short-lived and localized but quickly caused extreme effects on citizens all over the country.

It should serve as a reminder of the power of the industry, when united, to cause rapid, widespread chaos across an entire nation, particularly one already facing shortages and upheaval.

Had you heard about the Brazilian Truckers Strike of 2021? I had not until this article.

What are your thoughts about trucking strikes? Are you concerned it is a possibility in the US? Back in 2017, it was said that it would only take 5 days after the trucks stop moving for chaos to erupt across the nation. Do you think that's an accurate prediction still? Or would our already-weakened supply chain devolve even faster now? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Note for preppers: Keep OPSEC in mind if using services like these. This was written for the frugalilty website. I have used this strategy for a few large, heavy purchases due to back problems.

I live in an apartment building where everything looks identical. I split things up over more than one purchase. I removed all the furniture and plants from my patio so it was completely plain and looked just like everyone else's. I didn't have things brought indoors and I let my dogs bark their heads off from inside the entire time my orders were delivered.

Is it ideal? No, but it's better than not having those items, especially with things becoming limited again. Just some food for thought for preppers who may have physical limitations.
