Ok, I am sure we are all aware the price of fuel is outrageous. It doesn’t help that rates don’t seem to be climbing as fast.
The only way I can see to rectify this is if truckers take a day or two and not buy fuel. I know it would be hard to not move due to the state of the economy and inflation rearing it’s ugly head but we have to do something. Drivers already pay for everything to conduct business so why can’t they get a break at the pump?
AAA has fuel prices by state and nationally. This can be helpful when taking loads so you know how much you need to make in order to haul the load and make money. Here’s the link to copy and paste ⬇️⬇️ https://gasprices.aaa.com/state-gas-price-averages/
TCI Capital has a story about freight rates as of May 2022. It shows Vans, Flats, and Reefer. It also breaks down the changes in rates and how much rates are by region. Below is the link to copy and paste ⬇️⬇️ https://www.tcicapital.com/tci-insights/current-freight-trends/
I don’t see fuel prices dropping anytime soon. But maybe the above resources will help. Don’t forget to check for fuel discounts everywhere you can. Good luck🙏🏾😇🚚🛻💨💨
