## Resource

Diesel prices are soaring, hitting nearly $6 a gallon in places like Dallas—costing truckers a thousand bucks to fill up—and that’s just the start of the pain. With costs up 60% in just months, global tensions around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz are driving the spike. Already squeezed by low shipping rates, drivers face shrinking profits. The ripple effect? Higher freight costs for everything from planes to tractors, eventually pushing up food prices at your table. Even if peace breaks out, relief won’t come fast—new refineries take years to build, so higher fuel prices are here to stay for now.
