There are a few avenues of thought here. From independent truckers can't front the money to operate to truckers are spending more active hours due to rack allocations and time spent traveling to available racks.


Also getting rid of illegals driving trucks along with a shortage of American truck drivers. It’s been an issue for about 10 years now. Our labor issues are far worse than most realize as many industries were masking those issues by using illegals

We have 43 million barrels of diesel as of last Friday just in PADD 3. 107 million nationwide
That's what, about a quart apiece for us?

ETA: sorry, I misread as 107 million gallons instead of barrels. Still seems a little concerning.

Hint it is nowhere near being out and not even close to the lowest in the history of diesel

You should caveat that your number does not reflect ULSD

The vast majority is ULSD. A lot of refineries blend kerosene with diesel to get to ULSD. Very little diesel above 15PPM sulfur is produced, Roughly 5 million BPD to under 200,000 BPD of off road diesel

I just started a new job and was issued a 2026 Z71 1500 with the Duramax 3.0. It gets great mileage for a diesel. Fortunately, we have bulk diesel tanks at our locations across Atlanta and I just type in my truck # and fill it up. Top it off on Friday afternoon to get me through the weekend. I love the truck but wouldn’t want to be paying for the fuel if it was out of my pocket.
