Default Diesel Fuel And The Trucking Industry.....Very Interesting

Diesel prices weigh on truckers, loggers, landscapers - Mar. 27, 2008

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The kid who delivers your pizza may be charging you an extra buck for gas, but for the guy that trucked the tomatoes, hauled the dough or milked the cows, passing along the fuel increase isn't as easy as pie.

I'm guessing that if the prices don't crest and begin to fall the leaders of the individual industries might need to actually sit down together and agree to raise their prices. Maybe working together instead of always against each other they can gain some ground.

If the leaders do it it might keep the cutthroats from gaining any ground.
