NSW Truckers Hit Hard by Fuel Crisis

Diesel Crisis in New South Wales: Truckers Face Soaring Prices and Shortages Truck drivers in New South Wales are grappling with a severe fuel crisis, as diesel prices skyrocket and supplies dwindle. Chris Gibbs, a trucker in the Upper Hunter region, is passing on the increased costs to customers, sometimes up to 25% higher fees. The crisis is due to geopolitical tensions overseas, leading to empty bowsers and steep price jumps. On Monday, 131 stations lacked diesel, and 38 had no fuel at all, mostly in regional areas. Diesel hit $3.147 per litre in Greenacre, well above the state average. Truckers fear business shutdowns, with many already parking their rigs to cut losses. The government is monitoring the situation and may implement demand controls if the crisis persists. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
