Re: Back ordered parts/wheels

While I am an engineer by degree I now do engineered equipment sales. Valves and instrumentation for power plants, food plants, paper mills, natural gas from production through mid stream, etc. The whole supply chain issue is VERY troubling. Normally, we have one price increase at the first of October. Due to all the issues we have had to increase prices three times already and will do so again first of October. Not to mention some of my lead times have gone from 3-4 weeks to as long as 28 weeks and more.
It is very troubling for both my income and as a general trend. Parts for old hobby trucks is one thing, but parts for plants that make food and electricity is something else to ponder.
