And the consumer ends up absorbing that in the end as the price of freight has inflated as well. My wife is shipping broker for a living. She's seen the hikes and pays the freight bills. No doubt its hard to make a living as trucker, I don't discount that at all, but in the end its still the consumer thats paying the fuel tax, the fees, etc. The margins were much tighter for a while I believe but things are certainly loosening up again as consumers are adjusting to the inflated costs of freight.
