Yes, they're taking advantage and gouging. They did the same thing back in 2008. Truckers can suck my dick!

In 2008 it was $800 to get a load from Fort Smith. Diesel went from $2.50 to $4.00. The rate went from $800 to $1200. Diesel came back down to $2.50 and the rate stayed at $1200.
Now it's happened again. When the fuel price comes back down the rate will stay jacked.
