That's BS. The reason lumber prices are so high is because of truckers like him who are charging a stupid amount of money to move the lumber. If you get the lumber from the producer, you know actual tree farms and OSB makers, you'll find the prices aren't that bad.
-edit- this is also the reason why you are seeing food prices go up. It's not because of producers. They are having to throw away potato and dump milk. It's because of truckers like this guy.
