🇺🇸 AMERICA MOVES BECAUSE TRUCKERS MOVE
America’s truckers are being squeezed from every direction — and fuel prices are making an already difficult business even harder.
As of September 14, 2026, the U.S. average retail price for on-highway diesel reached approximately $6.285 per gallon, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
But diesel is only part of the problem.
The American Transportation Research Institute reports that the average cost of operating a truck reached $2.336 per mile in 2025 — the highest level recorded in its study — up 3.4% from the previous year. Costs excluding fuel increased another 4.2%, while tolls, maintenance, tires, insurance-related expenses and other operating costs continued putting pressure on carriers.
TRUCKERS CAN’T KEEP ABSORBING THE COST.
Every increase at the pump affects more than the trucking company.
It affects the owner-operator trying to keep his truck on the road.
It affects the driver working thousands of miles away from his family.
It affects the small fleet trying to meet payroll.
And ultimately, it affects every American business and family that depends on goods delivered by truck.
When operating costs rise while margins remain under pressure, carriers are forced to make difficult decisions: reduce loads, park equipment, postpone investments, or pass additional transportation costs through the supply chain.
America depends on trucking.
The food on supermarket shelves, construction materials, medicines, machinery, consumer products and industrial supplies do not magically appear at their destinations.
A TRUCK DRIVER DELIVERS THEM.
Supporting trucking is not about supporting one industry.
IT IS ABOUT SUPPORTING THE AMERICAN ECONOMY.
Truckers deserve an operating environment where hard work, efficiency and entrepreneurship can still produce a sustainable business.
Lower operating pressure.
Protect independent truckers.
Strengthen American transportation.
KEEP AMERICA MOVING. 🇺🇸🚛
