Soaring diesel prices squeeze truckers, farmers as costs hit consumers

DETROIT — Paul Russo can't afford to absorb the rising cost of diesel. The president of Wayne-based Wayne Industries, a steel hauler, has levied a fuel surcharge for about a decade. But as diesel fuel prices have climbed, the percentage he adds to his trucking rates has climbed with them. Russo now is charging a 45% fuel surcharge on his trucking rates to help offset the cost of diesel, which recently surpassed $6 a gallon. “I cannot let it linger because all of a sudden I'm eating all that,” Russo said. “I can't afford to eat that. It's just not in my numbers.” More: Michigan gas prices hit new high for 2026 Higher diesel fuel prices are being felt across Michigan’s economy, from farming and trucking to other businesses that depend on diesel-powered transportation to move goods. The higher costs are creating pressure to absorb expenses, raise prices or pass fuel surcharges along to customers. The U.S. Energy Information Administration said the national average on-highway diesel price reached $6.529 a gallon for the week ending Sept. 21, nearly 74% higher than the same week a year earlier. Farm diesel reached $5.45 a gallon Sept. 4, up from $3.02 a year

Why Are Michigan Roads So Bad?

Ask anyone who’s blown a tire on I-696 or rattled their fillings loose on a dirt road in March: Michigan roads are bad, and everyone has a theory about why. It’s the trucks. It’s the winters. It’s Lansing. The honest answer is that Michigan’s bad roads come from several problems stacking on top of each other — climate, soil, money, and politics — and most of the popular explanations are only half right. Here’s what’s actually going on under the pavement, and which of your favorite scapegoats deserve the blame.
