High Fuel Costs - USA - More than emissions to worry about
Truckers fight costsMunster,IN,USA -Munster Times, by ANDREA HOLECEK -May 7, 2006: -- Though upcoming emissions standards are prompting many trucking companies to buy new this year, independent owner-operators are another story. They say they're not in the market for trucks because high diesel fuel prices have eaten away their profits, as well as their ability to replace their rigs...

"You can buy a repo (repossessed) truck easy now because there are so many on the market. We're making 88 to 90 cents a mile, and it's costing us 68 to 73 cents just for fuel. Not much left over"...
