Diesel prices are soaring to record highs—$6.31 a gallon on average—with costs up over 70% in just one year, crippling trucking and rail industries. J.B. Hunt’s profits are expected to drop 5-10%, hitting stock with its worst day ever. Farmers face higher transport costs for crops like corn and wheat, which could soon raise grocery prices for you. Prices may climb past $6.50 nationally—and hit $7 in the Midwest—with California already averaging over $8. But this crisis might accelerate adoption of self-driving and electric freight tech as a long-term solution. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
