High fuel costs least of truckers worries - Mandatory ID cards, new environmental regs

Quote:

Bobby Powell spent $650 to fill up his big rig the other day, while it normally costs him $450. That’s enough fuel for about a day and a half of driving. “I’m not making near the money I was,” said the truck driver as he passed through Hesperia on Wednesday afternoon. Like many truck drivers, Powell owns his own truck and pays for his own fuel. Fuel prices are just one of many concerns facing independent owner-operators at the close of this year.
