Trucking CEO warns rising fuel costs threaten the economy
Original: Trucking CEO warns of fuel costs: 'The economy depends on us'
A trucking company chief executive is warning that soaring fuel costs are squeezing the industry, saying 'the economy depends on us'. The executive argues that trucks move most of the nation's goods, so higher diesel prices feed quickly into consumer prices across groceries, retail and construction. The warning adds to growing pressure on policymakers to address energy costs as carriers face thinning margins and rising operating expenses.
Why now: Fuel prices are rising and the trucking industry is sounding the alarm about knock-on effects for consumers and the broader economy.
