Diesel Has Biggest Leap in Almost Two Years -
End Products' Cost Could Increase Accordingly
| |
 Diesel jumped 14.3 cents to $3.716 a gallon, its 13th straight weekly gain, the Department of Energy said on Monday, February 28th. The diesel increase--the biggest since a 14.6 cent spike on June 8, 2009--leaves trucking's mail fuel 85.5 cents over the same week last year, DOE said following its weekly survey of filling stations.
Diesel is its highest level since October 2008 when it was in retreat from its record high of $45.764 a gallon, set on July 14, 2008.
Oil prices have also spiked, touching $100 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange in intraday trading for the first time in more than two years on concerns about Middle East political upheaval.
What does this mean for the trucking industry? Trucking firms could see their biggest rate increases in years in 2011, and coupled with rising equipment prices, end products' costs could increase accordingly, USA Today has reported.
After falling from 2007 to 2009, trucking rates edged up 2% last year and could surge in coming weeks in advance of Easter retail sales. USA Today cited tighter capacity, higher equipment costs, and fuel prices as factors pushing rates higher.
