Diesel fuel prices are on the rise. That’s the reality. If you look at the most recent numbers from the U.S. Energy and Information Administration, the price of a gallon of diesel is anywhere from $4.10 in February 2022 to $5.25 or more in March 2022, depending on the region, and in every case, there was a spike from the week prior and the year before that.
For you, the independent trucker and trucking company, that means it’s time to be an extra thrifty shopper. Think of yourself as a tech smart coupon clipper keeping frequent tabs on sales at your local department store. When fuel makes up so much of your expenses, you watch those diesel numbers every day.
