OOIDA: Don’t blame truckers for rising costs at store shelves

OOIDA: Don’t blame truckers for rising costs at store shelves

Quote:

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. — The rising costs of food and other goods caused by diesel fuel price hikes should not be laid at the feet of independent truckers.

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) emphasized in a news release to inform consumers that often shippers pay higher amounts for shipping when fuel prices are high, but that money doesn’t always trickle down to the person actually paying for the fuel.

“It’s a stoppage in the flow of transactions creating a heart attack in the system,” said Executive Vice President of OOIDA, Todd Spencer. “It’s an exploitation of shippers, truckers and, ultimately, consumers.”
