Dealing with diesel: Truckers' rising fuel costs affect us all |
|
Wednesday, 21 May 2008 |
We've all seen the prices at the pump skyrocket during the past year,
but the cost of fuel doesn't stop when you fill up your car's tank.
Because trucks haul virtually all consumer goods in the United States,
rising fuel costs increase the cost of everything transported by truck,
including food, clothing and medical supplies.
In West Virginia, trucking employs more than 40,000 people and
transports 100 percent of all consumer goods. In other words, if you
eat it, wear it or depend on it, a truck probably brought it.
Accordingly, trucking is an essential part of our economy, and the
rising price of fuel is affecting the price of consumer goods more and
more each day.
