Por qué a todos los estadounidenses debería importarles que los precios del diésel se disparen en todo el país

A blue tractor-trailer travels on a highway as dollar bills are seen to the right to illustrate diesel prices.

Los precios de la gasolina aumentan casi a diario, apretando las carteras y los bolsillos de casi todos los estadounidenses con vehículo. Sin embargo, por muy mala que sea esta noticia, los precios del diésel están subiendo aún más en todo el país. Hoy los precios del diesel en las paradas de camiones han alcanzado un nuevo récord de 5,32 dólares por galón. Desde el 1 de febrero, los precios nacionales del diesel en las paradas de camiones han aumentado en 1,57 dólares por galón. Para un...

Why every American should care that diesel prices are surging across the country

Gasoline prices are increasing almost daily, pinching the wallets and pocketbooks of nearly all Americans with cars. However, as bad as that news is, diesel prices are surging even more across the country. Today’s truckstop retail diesel prices hit a new record of $5.32/gallon. Since February 1st, national truckstop diesel prices have increased by $1.57/gallon. For an owner-operator whose truck gets 6.5 miles per gallon, this equates to a cost increase of $0.24 per mile.

Xi’s lockdowns will pull the rug out from under U.S. truckers this summer

Whenever the trucking market slows, truck drivers look for someone to blame. Normally, a slowdown is just a function of supply and demand. The market has too much dispatchable capacity compared to the total number of loads on any given day. 

This summer, the trucking market could have one of its steepest declines in recent years and there is an entity that deserves much of the blame – the Chinese Communist Party and its draconian and inhumane lockdowns.

Los cierres chinos crearán sobresaltos en las cadenas de suministro estadounidenses (pero China es quien más pierde)

A person in white hazmat suit stands in front of a statute.

Lo que ocurre en China no se queda en China. Y para las cadenas de suministro estadounidenses, eso suele ser algo bueno. Las empresas estadounidenses se han vuelto dependientes de los productos de bajo costo procedentes de proveedores chinos. Pero en un mundo post-COVID que puede estar entrando en la Segunda Guerra Fría, la dependencia de China significa que las empresas estadounidenses son rehenes de un régimen autocrático que parece no darse cuenta del daño que está haciendo a su propia...

Chinese lockdowns will create shocks to American supply chains (but China is the biggest loser)

Shanghai's zero-COVID lockdown continues.

What happens in China doesn’t stay in China. And for American supply chains, that is usually a good thing. American businesses have become dependent on low-cost goods coming from Chinese suppliers. But in a post-COVID world that may be entering the Second Cold War, reliance on China means that American businesses are held hostage by an autocratic regime that seems oblivious to the damage it is doing to its own economy, much less the global one. 

Since the earliest days of COVID-19, China has...

¿Qué causa los auges y caídas del ciclo del transporte por carretera?

A white tractor-trailer travels on a highway viewed from the rear and two the right.

El transporte por carretera es un sector muy cíclico.   

¿Cómo es posible que haya una “escasez de conductores” y un exceso de capacidad al mismo tiempo?  

Este es un estribillo común que escucho cuando se habla de un mercado de transporte de mercancías en desaceleración. La realidad es que la “escasez de conductores” no significa lo que la mayoría de la gente cree que significa.  

En primer lugar, hay que diferenciar entre el mercado de mercancías y las empresas de transporte. Las empresas de...
