Diesel prices soar, as potential fuel shortage looms. “You gotta do what you gotta do to survive, the best way you know how,” said Daryl Dozar, who has been a truck driver for 15 years.
Surviving. That’s what some truckers continue to do every day.
“I’ve seen fuel prices when I started out, at $0.95 a gallon and we were squalling even back then. Now 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 dollars a gallon, it’s ludicrous, it’s out of hand, it’s going to drive the trucking industry out, everything the Biden Administration does makes it worse” said Bart Costi, who has been a truck driver for decades.
Now the threat of a potential diesel shortage might become an added strain on drivers. Pilot Flying-J and Love’s said there are diesel supply issues, and the companies are monitoring the situation. Several trade publications say diesel supplies on the East coast are now at the lowest in almost 30 years. (Picture from Brunswick Georgia)
