Trucking companies gas costs skyrocket, forcing them to pass on to customers

ELGIN, Ill. -- Filling up gas tanks in a truck is an expensive proposition, especially these days. Diesel prices have risen about $0.75 a gallon in the last week, and that pain at the pump is sending operation costs for trucking companies through the roof.

"We have just now upped the fuel costs to our customers which now they're gonna pass it to their customers. It's about a three week lag," said BJ Boldog of R&K Logistics. The majority of consumer goods in the United States are transported by truck, and most trucking companies have to pass along the higher costs for gas to their customers if they want to stay in business. And the worst may be yet to come.
