Freight brokers are measuring their inboxes wrong. Most inbound email is monitoring, not work. And the longtail categories that look like noise are costing real margin. Here's how to audit what's actually in your inbox, and why it matters in 2026's margin-first market.
Diesel prices surge 9.9¢ in a week, hitting $3.905 a gallon, marking the largest increase since March 2022.
The national average price of on-highway diesel has soared by 9.9 cents, hitting $3.905 per gallon, marking the most substantial one-week increase since March 2022.
This significant leap comes after a week of no price fluctuation, as reported by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). All ten regions surveyed by the EIA noted a rise in diesel prices. On a related note, the national average gasoline price also climbed, increasing by 3.7 cents to reach $3.596 per gallon. This fluctuation in fuel costs impacts various sectors, from logistics and transportation to consumer goods pricing.
