I put this in another thread, but just in case here it is again. I don't have a graph for just diesel, but bloomberg said last week that east coast diesel inventory was at it's lowest level since they started tracking it in the 90s. Love's and Pilot have both sent out notices to fleet customers saying they might have diesel shortages in east coast states.I saw that on YouTube. I also saw something about a fuel shortage coming to the east coast. Anyone else hear anything?
Fuel prices are crazy nowadays. I don’t know how anybody can afford to use heavy machinery on a Regular basis. Me filling up my 5 gallon diesel can every 2 weeks for 27 bucks is bad enough. Funny thing is I called about off-road fuel about two weeks ago at a local station…. It’s about the same price as on-road. How is that possible!???

I’ve got to either raise my rate or add a fuel surcharge but I don’t see me staying home.I've heard from oil industry experts here locally that diesel could hit 8 bucks a gallon before the summer is over. I'll be staying home alot
Current boss is adding fuel surcharge, notified three important clients it was coming where they stated were going to shop around, he stated is their prerogative and good luck as to that.

Trucking just went from $85/hr to $95/hr
Dump truck company we use went from $90 to $112.50 with their fuel charge that fluctuates. Steep rise but they are not killing it at $112 per hour by any means. I have started bidding jobs at the higher rate plus our mark up, it's all we can do.
Trucking is over $125/hr here.... fuel still below $7/gallon... this week.
I’ve raised my prices a bit(I’m still below the regional average as I’m a “new guy”) but calls coming in have slowed to a trickle.
might be a rough summer
