236 gallons. $1,408.71. Thank God it’s the company’s card.
We fuel up our semi about three times a week….
Not long ago, the same fill-up would have cost around $850–$950
And this was at a truck stop charging roughly $6 a gallon. I’ve seen diesel prices elsewhere approaching $7–$9.
Nearly everything anyone buys spends some portion of its journey on a truck….Groceries, clothing, furniture, etc.
When transportation costs increase this dramatically, those costs don’t disappear. Eventually somebody has to absorb them, whether it’s the trucking company, the retailer or the consumer….
And once prices go up, they don’t necessarily come back down when fuel gets cheaper.
Thank god it’s the company’s card but I’ll still pay when I go get groceries, I’m sure.
