Fuel Costs Might Be Falling—but Trucking Margins Are Still Thin!

Trusted data from ATRI shows a $0.07 drop in fuel costs—but non-fuel expenses (like pay, insurance, tires, tolls) jumped to record highs. With contract rates staying low, carriers are cutting capacity and trimming staff—tightening the squeeze on drivers.

👉 What you can do:
• Minimize deadhead and idle time
• Explore LTL or backhauls for steady revenue
• Push for performance pay with your carrier
• Track and control your maintenance and tire costs

🚨 Winter Fuel Haulers: Proposed HOS Relief Underway
Propane truckers could soon get preemptive FMCSA breaks before cold snaps hit—thanks to a bipartisan push led by Reps. Bost & Collins. 🚛❄️
They want automatic 5‑day HOS waivers so you can deliver vital winter heat without jumping through bureaucratic hoops.

👉 What drivers need to know:

Possible extensions like 14→16‑hour daily windows

Temporary lifts on weekly on‑duty limits

Only for “direct assistance” deliveries—strict fatigue rules still apply
