Trump is doing something Algore could only have wet dreams about.... Trump is ending the Diesel and internal combustion engine (poorly planned acronymy). He might not like it but as soon as he is out and all the refineries are in shambles something has to replace all that. Probably hydrogen, and battery powered vehicles.

...it might be a new benefit in hiring, we'll compensate a per centage of your fuel costs...after two months...and we've earned interest on it..follow my rabbit hole for further financial advice.../s?

As a non-American, I find it baffling and hilarious that many Americans are proud to work 80 hours a week. It's not a flex. They'd regret having done so when they become too frail and forgetful at the old age. And all the money they saved and pension being collected will be spent on healthcare and medication instead.

They did not even live their life when they were young and they won't even enjoy the remainder.

Nah, it's been a marathon this is just that last sprint before the finish.

I don't know about a name. I will just write it once more as this is yet another example of: "self-regulation is the same as no regulation".

A couple years ago? My grandpa was a trucker and this changed before he died over a decade ago.

Why do you think every other billboard on the interstate is for some lawyer suing truckers? Then trucker insurance goes up and they pass that expense on to shippers and everything gets more expensive. Businesses don’t care because everything’s is owned by the same private equities anyway - so the rich get richer.

Yup, my father drives semi's hauling cargo, and he's seen and told me of the number of horrific accidents that happen. We live in the same city and if he tells me of a recent accident he's seen, it almost never is reported through the news, but that could be biased since I don't search all of the news sites for it. But when a semi ploughs through a line of cars, killing several people on the freeway that were stopped from a previous accident ahead of them, I would expect to see it on most local stations...but it wasn't. Similar accident with long team haulers, driver fell asleep at wheel hit another semi from behind, destroyed the truck killing both, my father said as he drove by the accident he could see body parts strewn along the road. So, so many stories.

PS all this has me extreme vigilant and paranoid when driving around semi's on the freeway, especially those people who can't pass a semi and just hang out next to them matching their speed when I'm trying to get around them too

Unrelated, it could be because of those leftists and their Biden era agendas!!!

Well this is fuel hauling, so multiple stops or loads in a day to service stations. Even if they had rail service set up at the gas station for delivery, rail companies in the US hate small customers like that these days.

Fun fact: it's definitely not going to slow. It's about to get even worse. Unless of course the government decides to subsidize the hell out of diesel to make it cheaper.

I was about to say, they are alliwed 14 hour drives? Clownshit
