The economy fluctuates quite a bit in a year, but it has changed dramatically in the last three. Supply and demand chains change almost every month, different products are difficult for consumers to find, and prices of everyday items have soared. This market is challenging for everyone, but it is even more demanding on truck drivers. Independent truck drivers are finding it increasingly difficult to operate under these conditions as rising diesel prices threaten to shut down the market altogether.
However, there is one step you can take to permanently eliminate the strain of high fuel prices from your budget. Join the K&B Transportation team.
Let’s look at the rising price of diesel and what you can do to stop paying for it!
Rising Price of Diesel
The price of diesel has hit a record high in the United States. According to Business Insider, average diesel prices are around $5.50 per gallon.
Diesel is in the middle of its worst crisis since the late 1970s. Despite the crisis, the market relies on truck drivers to continue delivering much needed products to consumers across the U.S. every day.
How Does This Affect Truck Driving Jobs?
Unfortunately, rising diesel prices also mean lower income for truck driving jobs. The diesel prices are so high that some companies are taking a loss when delivering their loads. These losses mean that small companies without solid financial reserves can’t overcome the length of time necessary to wait out the price inflation.
