The increases are coming so fast, up 15% in a week according to AAA Texas, some truck drivers could struggle to keep up.
– The current high prices at the gas pump in North Texas would be welcomed by drivers filling up with diesel, where the cost of a gallon is now closing in on $5 in some cities.
The rising prices, which AAA Texas listed at $4.36 for the Fort Worth-Arlington region Monday, March 7, could be a bit of a “dangerous situation” for some truck drivers, said John Esparza, the President and CEO of the Texas Trucking Association. “Maybe they want to look at long haul. Maybe they want to look at other places. That truly is where trucking is hard,” Esparza said. “If they get frustrated in certain segments of trucking, at one point do they get frustrated out of the business?”
“So then what happens is these companies receiving the freight, all they’re doing is marking up their goods, putting them on the shelves even higher than what the expectation was, and the end users are paying for it,” he said.
