As truckers see higher costs at the gas pump, consumers may find everything becoming more expensive he Biden administration is considering tapping a rarely used diesel reserve to help ease the pain at the gas pump as inflation continues to drive up prices.
Diesel prices sky-rocketed in the past year, soaring to a staggering $5.57. Last year, the average cost for a gallon of diesel was around $3.00.
Imagine paying today’s price to fill up more than 100 gallons. That’s what truckers are facing across the country.
Last week, somebody came and paid $1,200 to fill his tanks. The gas attendant was shocked. She was like, ‘I’ve never seen this in my life,’” said truck driver, Fred Amisi.
Fred Amisi has been driving a commercial truck for four years. He says he could fill his 120-gallon tank for around $300 back in December. Now, it costs him around $450.
“It’s so painful, because these prices are affecting the profits that we make,” said Amisi.

We don’t want your millions, bastards,
We don’t want your diamond rings.
All we want is the right to live, bastards,
Give us back our jobs again.
I can guarantee you Consumers will be affected. Since when do truckers work for nothing?
STOP RIGHT NOW AND LOOK AT EVERYTHING YOU SEE . . .
IT CAME ON A FRIKKIN' TRUCK !
Get up and go the fridge . . .
Everything you saw and pulled out to eat or drink CAME IN ON A FRIKKIN' TRUCK !
Go to the bathroom and everything you see along the way and while sitting or standing CAME IN ON A TRICK.
Screw this, I'm goin' t'bed!
Everything you saw along the way, the clothes in the closet, the underwear or lingerie you wear, the pillow, the headphones, TV and radio . . . all came in on a truck.
. . . and if mama doesn't get her sanitary napkins .....
You can apply that reasoning to most stages of a products life.
They were all created by investors. They were all sold by salesmen, etc. But it’s true that you hear truckers citing their necessary and vital part often.
May be affected. Duh.
clickorlando just had a Captain Obvious moment?
“may be affected”
Idiots
clown world
Have these idiots been grocery shopping recently? Look at the prices. It already has caused massive price increases. At the beginning of the year a local grocery chain sold a four pack of muffins they baked in store for $3.99. Now, those exact same muffins are $6.99.
This is planting season, wait till the end of summer when the farm produce starts hitting the store shelves.
So what? If a truck can carry 100 dishwashers and the fuel costs $300 to haul the load from point A to B, then that is a fuel cost of $3.00/dishwasher. If the fuel goes up to $400 then that is $4.00/dishwasher. Wow a WHOLE DOLLAR!!!!!
To the consumer to unit cost of shipping product is teeny tiny.
MAY BE?????
How about “Have Been”, “Are”, and. “Will Continue To Be” ?
High fuel prices are not accidental or unintended.
They are intentional and on purpose.
And the Biden administration doesn’t care how much it hurts everyday Americans.
Fuel costs have doubled in a year.
Rates have not doubled.
Spot market rates are falling as capacity is increasing.
Empty store shelves, high prices, scarcity of fuel, fertilizer, heating oil. Promises that the pain will stop when we turn over our guns. Bet me.
$6.19 here in Upstate
Severe diesel prices are payback for Canadian and U.S. Trucker Protests. If they can’t get their way, these globalist A$$holes are driven by vengeance.
LOL. Math is not your strong suit. Math = truth. Basic algebra.
