Diesel Prices Dropping Means Happier Truckers

is anyone happy with $4.22 a gallon??

 

the pilot station off I-20 and 601 in Columbia South Carolina it is $3.83. regular unleaded at the same station is $3.93.

i watch gas prices and i can't remember the last time diesel was cheaper than unleaded.

 

it could come down anouther $1 and i still wont like payin that much for it...but it is better than $5.50/g

 

how about another $2! Doubt we will ever see any gas under $2 again.

 

Happy? Must be with the happy cows in California, 'cause most of the ones I deal with are GRUMPY!! LOL

 

Problem is shippers see that and want to pay even less than they are now for freight!

 

Dropping diesel prices, this time, means the economy is in the dumpster, the credit market is tightening big time, people are buying less and less, which probably means more truck drivers will be sitting around waiting for loads for longer and longer periods of time.

Another tricky part of this low fuel price thing is, will the fuel prices move back up after elections? We shall see.
