1
00:00:00,601 --> 00:00:01,602
Diesel fuel prices

2
00:00:01,668 --> 00:00:02,936
have spiked sharply

3
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:04,872
due to supply disruptions

4
00:00:04,938 --> 00:00:06,540
because of the war in Iran.

5
00:00:06,607 --> 00:00:07,140
Just for a

6
00:00:07,207 --> 00:00:08,108
sense of understanding

7
00:00:08,175 --> 00:00:09,843
what does it cost now

8
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:11,845
to fill up the tanks

9
00:00:11,912 --> 00:00:13,146
on a truck like this?

10
00:00:13,213 --> 00:00:15,549
Right. Well, they did a study

11
00:00:15,616 --> 00:00:16,850
the average

12
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:18,452
cost per mile for a truck

13
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:20,053
and we're talking about

14
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,755
the fuel and the other expenses.

15
00:00:21,822 --> 00:00:24,157
It's about $2.32 per mile

16
00:00:24,591 --> 00:00:25,425
that it cost them

17
00:00:25,492 --> 00:00:26,994
to run a truck down the road.

18
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:28,729
So anytime you add that

19
00:00:28,795 --> 00:00:29,496
when you add

20
00:00:29,563 --> 00:00:32,533
another dollar to diesel prices

21
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:33,333
that's going to add another

22
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,636
14 cents per mile to that

23
00:00:35,969 --> 00:00:36,904
truck cost.

24
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:38,138
So you expand that out

25
00:00:38,205 --> 00:00:40,107
over thousands of miles

26
00:00:40,174 --> 00:00:40,908
and we're talking about

27
00:00:40,974 --> 00:00:42,009
hundreds of thousands of dollars

28
00:00:42,075 --> 00:00:43,010
that it's going to cost

29
00:00:43,076 --> 00:00:44,311
per truck to run them

30
00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:45,078
either in the state

31
00:00:45,145 --> 00:00:46,113
or across the country.

32
00:00:46,180 --> 00:00:47,181
So

33
00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:47,748
everything is

34
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:49,183
going to be impacted

35
00:00:49,249 --> 00:00:50,284
I think

36
00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:51,351
in the supply chain

37
00:00:51,418 --> 00:00:52,719
with, of course, the consumer

38
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:53,520
being at the end of

39
00:00:53,587 --> 00:00:55,389
that supply chain.
