Fuel prices crushing longhaul driver costs in Beckley
Beckley trucker Clint Hitt of Badger Express laments diesel and gas price surges. He notes fuel can take one third to half of gross earnings, averaging 1.65 to 1.74 per gallon regionally and costing him over $1,000 weekly. Hitt, who travels Wisconsin to Florida and through Pennsylvania and New York, recalls earning pressure and potential for more owner operators to quit.
