The Metro: This trucking company owner worries about price hikes — but not the war causing them
High fuel costs are impacting everyone. One industry is being hit particularly hard.
Truckers are seeing costs skyrocket as diesel costs have risen 41% since the start of America and Israel’s wars with Iran.
Jim Burg is the President of the James Burg Trucking Company in Warren. He’s been moving steel in the trucking business for decades. While he says costs are rising really fast, at this point, he’s only been modestly impacted by them.
He talks about how he made his start in trucking and what he envisions for the future of the business with The Metro’s Sam Corey.
