Summary
Diesel prices in Texas have surged past $6 a gallon, crushing truckers’ profits and forcing independent drivers to spend thousands more weekly just to stay on the road.

With holiday season looming and global supply shifts adding pressure, the industry braces for a brutal stretch — and everyone from drivers to shoppers feels the strain.
