Deisel Prices

[NorthMotorSports]

I heard from my dad that deisel is supposed to be up to 5.00 a gallon anyone else heard this :?: :?: :shock: :shock:

[topcat572]

Well, Im already paying 3.89 for my big rig now, with summer driving coming up, I dont see it coming down. :cry:

[olds48]

Right now we're at $3.89,too.Said it might hit $5 like you said.

[BadMonza]

Yea we are at 3.89 and I think it is a bunch of B.S. Who ever heard of diesel costing 50-60 cents more a gallon than super unleaded! I mean if you drive a commercial truck and you mark up your goods to cover the additional cost is one thing but the individuals who drive a diesel daily are getting the shaft. The only good thing is when the wife asks how much I paid for alcohol for my car I say 50 cents more a gallon than diesel and it makes it o.k.

well as an indepedent trucker i'll tell you driving you pickup daily is nothing. try buying 300 gallons at a time at 5 mpg. as fuel goes so does everything the price of fuel is taking this country down and picking up pace. do you see anybody slowing down? i cant see it there are so many people on the road. i think if everybody would slow down just go to work and back carpool and do no extra running for awhile the price would come down as long as people keep buying and going then why should they drop the prices?

That's a good point

[SST4530]

I'm paying anywhere from 3.89 to 4.00, I get right at 20 MPG but 95 bucks a fill up 3 times a week takes a big bite out of my A$$!!!

Maybe the government should just declare a National emergency and shut the entire country down for a week. No planes and no traffic of any kind accept emergency response vehicles. Bet the price would come down then? Oil tankers would be stacked for miles waiting to unload.

Bastards :x

I was an independent trucker and quit because of cheap freight and high fuel prices,it is just too bad that everyone can't shut down.My truck and trailer was paid for and it costs enough just to keep the maintenance and insurance up so i just couldn't see hauling freight for nothing.I would hate to be making payments on a truck and trailer like most of the truckers are doing and just barely making a paycheck.Trucks should have went on strike when fuel hit $2.00 a gallon.

[mopar1968]

People at a truckstop where i get fuel said $6.00 by labor day. :shock: :shock:

[kw89425]

you know when fuel hit 1.50 i said i was out and i got out for awhile but theres just nothing to do that pays anything so i has to go back. thankfully i have an old truck and no big payment

[lanham]

I sold my truck and now i have my trailer for sale.The rates will have to be very good for me to ever go back.I was lucky to be able to sell my truck the way things are right now.

[lanham]

What do you haul.Is Waynesburg around Stanford.

[kw89425]

yeah im 8 miles south of 27 and 150 on top of the gap. pulling containers for a few more days then im going back to flatbed it looks like. need to get back into something that pays more.

[NorthMotorSports]

Ya with me runnin the USMTS and havin to travel all over hell and gone its gonna real tight come summer time and the wife drives a suburban so that aint helpin much either lol but I geuss were all in the same boat and I doubt that fuel is gonna go down anytime soon just wanted to see if yall heard the same thing thanks!!!! Timmy

[lanham]

Hey kw89425 do you drive a black Kenworth.If you need a flatbed i have one for sale.

[sg5492]

It has cut our racing down to a few times a year. I have a company van so I don't buy gas to get to and from work (60 miles a day) so that helps. The wife only works 3 miles from the house.

[kw89425]

lanham what is it and what do you want for it

[lanham]

I have it listed on truckertotrucker.com.Look up the flatbed section and it is on there as a 1994 Fruehauf.

[mopar1968]

[olds48]

I wish diesel was $3.50 a gallon... where are you guys at??? It's $4.67 a gallon here in the San Diego area.... and in some places like Del Mar (north of San Diego a few miles)... $5.27/gallon.......

[topfool]

its about 60 cents a Litre dearer than unleaded petrol. (95oct)
