Trucking CEO warns rising fuel costs threaten the economy
Original: Trucking CEO warns of fuel costs: 'The economy depends on us'
A trucking company chief executive is sounding the alarm over high fuel costs, saying the industry keeps the US economy moving and that sustained diesel and gasoline price increases will push up prices for consumers across the supply chain. The warning comes as carriers already grapple with tight margins, driver shortages and freight demand that has softened, leaving little room to absorb additional fuel expenses.
Why now: Fuel prices are climbing and trucking executives are framing the industry as critical to inflation and the broader economy.
