Key Findings

What the March Spike Actually Cost Carriers.

Most carriers won't know the full damage until Q2 closes. This report quantifies it.

What the Report Covers

  • Finding 1: $5.50/gal — Where diesel closed in April 2026. Up 52% year-over-year.
  • Finding 2: $0.96 in one week — The largest single-week diesel move on record for this period.
  • Finding 3: $145K — What a 55-truck Texas carrier absorbed under a standard monthly surcharge reset.
  • Finding 4: Three scenarios — Weekly, monthly, and quarterly reset structures. Three very different outcomes.

Inside the Report

The report models a real carrier profile — 55 trucks, dry van, Texas for-hire — and works through exactly what March and April cost them under three common surcharge configurations. The numbers don't appear on any invoice. They show up as compressed margin when the month closes.
