Truckers say a diesel fill-up can top $1,000 as prices surge
As Trump’s reckless war drives diesel prices to record highs, I’m taking executive action to cut fuel costs for Minnesota farmers, loggers, and truckers. The order allows producers and haulers to move more products per trip - reducing costs during this critical harvest season.
nenakuz.bsky.social2Governor, do you expect to go to Sweden again this year? 😁 A lot of us would love to see the orange clown’s head explode with jealousy and rage.😆
nenakuz.bsky.social2Governor, when you become president, Jack Smith should be your attorney general. 😀💪
Andy Gabriel-Powell1trump's tariff threats and unsustainable policies mean Investors now price in his fiscal mismanagement. (Something normally reserved for 3rd World economies.) If he continues, the cost to the US economy and Bond market will be devastating, and for the American people, even worse.
1bsky.social1Wonderful Govenor did you read my post NOW THE REST OF YOU NEED TO JOIN TAKE TAXES OFF LOWER WHAT EVER IS HIGHER RELIEF LET'S GO
suzanneelaine1Too dangerous! Brakes may not be rated for extra weight!
We are actually lucky Trump is so stupid and greedy he did not ban exports on diesel prior to the midterm elections. That would have helped Republicans in the midterms but then his oligarchs would have made less money off of American farmers and truckers.

Davey Jones7In trump world Greed is more powerful than stupid. And he has plenty of both. #veteransagainsttrump
sooty4472.bsky.social6All that talent nodding behind him while he again blames the victim for defending itself for the high diesel prices brought about by his reckless misadventures in the middle east a SMO he has lost

barbie68.bsky.social4That's right. For him to blame Ukraine for what's happening in Russian is propaganda. US is self-sufficient in diesel production at home and exports excesses. Since he started this war, he should've stopped the exports and kept supplies for the U.S. HE THE ONLY REASON THERE'S A SHORTAGE IN the US
OgreDragon3Thank for your effort Jake: Just a Note on diesel prices..when Democrats are in office..the oil refineries go down for maintenance before the election to create an artificial price & help elect the Fascists..This year those same refineries will be going off line for maintenance after the elections
After reading this story about independent truckers getting crushed by high diesel prices, I am genuinely baffled by the question: why haven’t the prices they can charge risen to take this into account? I see that independent truckers have very little bargaining power.
hilzoy18Also, they negotiate prices up front and get paid later, so prices wouldn’t rise immediately. But it’s been six months since Trump started his stupid war, so that’s no longer the reason. It’s not that I think markets fix everything; I would just have thought that they might fix this.
Goth or Ostro-goth17It's an old scam. They rent or buy the rig at a usurious lease or interest rate, get one or two steady contracts at a fixed rate that looks OK at a particular fuel price, then hustle to fill the times/miles in between to try to make a profit. Any accident or injury sinks them in the "good" times.
klisa26.bsky.social2My Masters thesis was about rail rates after deregulation. Three years after deregulation they had still not changed prices. Much more rigid than theory would have it.
J1Duration of contract? Bigger firms can hedge to reduce the risk of input prices rising while output prices are fixed.

If, like me, you've been wondering how truckers are surviving this every time you do a $50-+ fill-up of your Jetta, here's your answer: They really aren't.

(Self) Regulators, mount up!2And, if you think things cost more now from international shipping and tariffs, when local trucking has to raise prices, everywhere, then EVERYTHING gonna get even more expensive.
Gas is up . Diesel is hurting truckers. Omg grocery prices are horrible.😝 Electric bills up Everything is up. Prices😝 Republicans talking about watergate. Omg Trump and Republicans are a disaster.!😝

Papaya Fools He/Him/Sarge/Goalie1Trying in vain to discredit the process of investigation to have something to feed his idiot mob when the blue wave hits. Assuming his suppression methods fail. Free, fair and accurate elections may already be a thing of the past.
