'08 saw record number trucks screech to a halt
11/3/08

NASHVILLE, Tenn. At one point last year, it looked as if fuel surcharges were going to be history.
Even though diesel was skyrocketing, a lot of American shippers saw that truckers were dropping rates just to stay alive, so many of them opted to hold back on paying fuel surcharges. They simply said no.
Truckers wised up and responded by yanking trucks off the road.
First thing the shippers knew, they couldn't find anybody to carry their freight, so they agreed to pay the full bills avec surcharges -- again. Then, the price of fuel dropped.
The past 12 months have been a humdinger of a year for truckers. And the fuel surcharge roundabout was only one of the curves and loops that the roller coaster otherwise known as the for-hire trucking industry rode.
