Price of Diesel Falls for 4th Straight Decline

October 21, 2013/in Calhoun Truck Lines/by Brett Bennett

In the midst of uncertain news from our nation’s capital, there has been a small glimmer of good news from the Department of Energy in recent weeks.diesel fuel costs_2013

The cost of diesel gas has fallen for a 4th straight decline. The national average price for a gallon of diesel fuel fell about 2 cents to $3.897 a gallon, according to the Department of Energy. That’s good news for the nation’s trucking companies, who base much of their annual budget on diesel costs.

In the past month, according to the Department of Energy, diesel’s price has fallen about 8.4 cents. The costs of an average gallon of diesel is nearly 20 cents lower than what it was a year ago. That figure translates into thousands of dollars in savings for many trucking companies hauling intermodal freight.

The Department of Energy releases its fuel-price surveys on a weekly schedule, but there is uncertainty for next week’s fuel price survey results if the government shutdown enters a second week. The survey gets compiled by the DOE from about 400 diesel stations and 800 gas stations.

Calhoun Truck Lines Improves Driver Turnover Rate!!!

July 10, 2012/in Calhoun Truck Lines/by Brett Bennett

The first half of 2012 has been successful in a number of areas for our company.  One area in particular is the low turnover rate within our fleet of intermodal trucking owner operators.  Our year to date driver turnover rate is at 28% compared to the national average of 71% for fleets with less than 30 million in sales (the highest since 2008).

The spike in the driver turnover rate nationwide  is a good sign for the economy according to Bob Costello, Chief Economist for the American Trucking Association.  Costello also said that this is a sign of trucking companies jostling each other to lure the drivers with the best safety records.

This type of information is exciting for all of us at Calhoun Truck Lines.  Our safety rating is better than it’s ever been and our driver turnover rate is well below the national average.  This helps make our company a great option for safety conscious drivers looking to make good money and be home every night.  We have excess freight for our drivers to haul and the resources available to help them succeed in running their business.  For more information on our services and driving options go to www.calhountrucklines.com.
