VIA; U.S. truckers are reportedly planning an October 1 work stoppage over rising diesel prices, with the risks of a prolonged trucking shutdown that could disrupt deliveries of food and other essentials. Hosts Mischa Paullin and Chris Keene examine competing views among truckers about whether refusing loads could force higher freight rates or lower fuel costs, while also noting concerns that companies could replace striking drivers or reroute shipments. The hosts cite reported diesel-price increases and compare the potential action with trucker protests during the 1970s oil crisis, when highway blockades contributed to temporary fuel surcharges and other concessions. The segment ends with jokes about stocking up on food and pet supplies, along with a discussion of whether collective action by truckers could affect fuel prices and the broader supply chain.
