This will soon affect consumers. Some trucking companies are passing on the fuel cost increase to their customers via fuel surcharges, and as a result retailers are soon going to pass it onto consumers as higher prices. A guy who owns his own truck has to depend on the company he is leased to or his broker to add in the fuel charge.Some do and some don't, and the wost part is some charge a fuel surcharge and don't pass that on to the owner-operator. Just another day in paradise!
