πΊπΈ U.S. DIESEL HITS RECORD $6/GALLON
β½οΈ The national average price of diesel has surpassed $6 per gallon for the first time on record, according to GasBuddy.
π The surge comes amid tightening fuel supplies and disruptions linked to the Iran conflict and attacks on Russian refineries.
π’ On Thursday, Brent crude reached $107.63/barrel, while WTI climbed to $102.48/barrel.
π U.S. diesel inventories are currently about 13% below the five-year average, adding further pressure to prices.
For trucking companies and owner-operators, the record diesel price means significantly higher operating and fuel costs.

βοΈDEF can freeze at approximately 12Β°F (-11Β°C).
But freezing DEF does not automatically mean the system is damaged. Trucks are designed with systems that can thaw the DEF after the engine starts.
β οΈ Donβt add antifreeze or other chemicals to DEF to prevent freezing β contamination can damage the SCR system.
Let the truck handle the thaw.

π Preventive Scheduling
Preventive maintenance shouldnβt be scheduled by mileage alone.
Engine hours, idle time, operating conditions, vehicle age, and duty cycle can all affect when a truck may need service.
A truck running short, demanding routes can have very different maintenance needs from one covering steady highway miles.
βοΈ Better scheduling means fewer surprises, less unplanned downtime, and better fleet control
