The price of diesel is soaring. The pain at the pump is unflinching as the cost of diesel just keeps spiking. The inflation of the recovering economy is being exacerbated by Russia’s war on Ukraine forcing an historic drop in global fuel production.
That’s the macroeconomic view. But what can a fleet manager do directly to counteract this devastating price pressure on a fleet? Spec for fuel efficiency, yes, but replacing trucks right now may not be an option.
