On the other hand the Federal government wants to raise taxes on the cost of diesel. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek. That doesn't sound very good to me. Oh well it is a start.

That will generate a lot sales since there is so much pent up demand for vehicles and the costs are far exceeding the amount banks are willing to loan to the majority of car carriers looking to buy a new carhauler. This will bet the equipment in their hand BUT they are still going to face more strain on margins since fuel will get more expensive. So it is kind of a trade off BUT more like a delay. The bottleneck on companies and drivers was on the purchase of the vehicle which was much earlier in the business cycle. Financial strain and cost is just being postponed until your
