DC region’s truckers squeezed as diesel prices soar
Think you’re spending a lot filling up the tank of your car these days? Be glad you’re not buying diesel to power a big truck. The price of gasoline is still rising because of the war in Iran and so is the price of diesel fuel. And it’s hitting the D.C. region hard. “You’re talking about $150 per day per truck in new fuel costs. That’s new fuel costs on top of what they may have been paying a year ago,” Louis Campion, president and CEO of the Maryland Motor Truck Association, told WTOP.
