Episode description
Diesel prices had been on a slow but steady decline in recent months. But not any longer. Tom Kloza of the Oil Price Information Service tells us what's driving prices up, and what the tea leaves say about what's coming next. Also, three companies have requested an exemption from FMCSA’s entry-level driver training rule. Meanwhile, the sponsor of a Senate bill on speed limiters says the FMCSA’s efforts on that issue are “overreaching” and “out of touch.” And end of July shipping had a slight impact on the freight market.
