Almost everything shipped with in our borders is by truck in some way, shape or form. It either gets put in a semi and heads across the country from depot to depot and then is picked up for local delivery or piggy backs on a train across country and then is picked up at the rail yards by a truck for area/local delivery. Since the trucking companies are a captive market the oil companies are going to milk as much out of that industry as they can. Look at any truck shipped item and the bill of lading has a fuel surcharge on it. The trucking companies do not care they just pass the fuel cost on to the end user. That is why diesel prices have not dropped. Not to mention the fact that we can export as much diesel as we can produce. We are a net positive exporter of finished product. We export more refined product than we import crude oil.
