Why are we so concerned with fuel prices?

Discussion in 'Ask An Owner Operator' started by blairandgretchen, Mar 6, 2022.

Will increased fuel costs put you out of business?

    You've clearly been watching too much cable news.

    Depending on the amount of Competition. Too many hungry new O/Os will pull for less, till they can’t. Brokers will keep as much as they can. Brokers keep a % of the Total. Including FSC. Many made less off each Load, as fuel dropped in price a few yrs ago. Meaning less for everyone. The Freight backlog is going away. I see plenty of Trucks everywhere. No shortage. Soon to be too many Trucks. A slower economy will make things worse. Not going out of Business. Just be happy to have work, while others don’t. Truckers and Nurses, always have Jobs.
