Map of inflation by states

Awesome context there.

I think that's the same map for how many OT 8's I've banged by state.

Looks almost like the election map.

Sounds like middle America needs more tools in their tool belt

For some reason the legend didn’t copy with the map. It’s from a WSJ article today

mean. It does make rational sense….. it cost more to ship goods to the interior than it does to the coast. As fuel cost go up, it’s only rational for the routes that use more fuel will see more of a pinch.

This is true but doesn’t explain the gulf states that have the gulf and MS river to ship fuel and agriculture goods relatively cheaply

Eh, Louisiana and Texas are lighter and have a larger coastline with more deep water ports. Louisiana also has the Mississippi. I’m not sure on the numbers but it could be that Mississippi and Alabama simply don’t have enough goods coming through h their ports and instead rely on interstate truck travel.

I’m just spitballing baw

The south is also nationally low on the price index scale so any increase would be seen as a “larger” increase than other areas.

A 10 cent increase is felt more in the south than up north.

Idk

Pretty map but not a lot of data to ponder.
