    What's crazy is I saw $3.99 here in Tennessee last night. Since when is Tennessee fuel the exact same expensive price as a northeast state like Pennsylvania? It's going to $5+ again.

    Yeah I saw it on drudge. I'd do the same thing if I was an oil baron and I'd have a gold plated T600 with a gold plated stainless reefer behind it too haha!

    It's a good thing I'm not working right now.

    It is a good thing I am getting 8.83 MPG's on average right now. I am glad I did what I did on my truck and trailer to save some money in fuel cost.

    OPEC production cuts, and our strategic reserve releases running out which we can't do again since they actually called up reserves to head to Europe, which means we are going to war. They also sold a bunch of the strategic reserve to China of all places. We are going to be over $5 probably $5 by labor day but it will go higher than that, they can't push everyone to electric bs if fuel prices are low and people are happy. There is an agenda to push here guys

    I know it sucks for you guys but $5+ fuel and low rates is going to shutter up a bunch of the weaker players out here that need to hit the exit. Imo fuel rising is the light at the end of the tunnel for the well managed/funded carriers. For the others it's a train coming right at them.
