FUEL COST TROUBLES * USA - Truck Stop Last Fill-Up
The numbers tell the story in this case 320 dollars just to fill up a big rig with diesel. It's a price this mom and pop truck stop can no longer afford
Harrisburg,PA,USA -CBS 21, by Melissa Medalie -28 Mar 2008: -- ... For the past 20 years, Henry's truck stop in Etters has given drivers a welcomed break from the highway: fill up the tank, fill up with food and its back on the road... But today truckers are fueling up here for the last time: owners say the price of a gallon of diesel fuel has quadrupled over the past decade to nearly $4.20 a gallon... That's a big reason why this locally owned truck stop can't compete with the bigger companies. With an apology letter to customers posted on the door tonight the big rigs will drive off for the very last time... This shut down is affecting more than just the employees here it impacts the truckers too. This is one of the only large scale truck stops between Baltimore and Harrisburg...
