Widening spread between $5 diesel and lower gasoline prices baffles truckers

It’s on display at virtually every gasoline station, the price of gasoline in red and the price of diesel in green. It’s as clear as day. But for operators using diesel fuel—including about 3.5 million long-haul truck drivers—it is maddening. There has been an ever-widening gap of as much as $2 or more between the price of gasoline and diesel. While the price of gasoline has plummeted more than 35% from a summer high of just over $5 a gallon nationally to around $3.44 in early December, diesel has remained stubbornly high.

CP heralds new proof of concept interline service in partnership with KCS

While Canadian Pacific Railway’s (CP) acquisition of Kansas City Southern (KCS) is not expected to be made official until the second half of this year, CP said this week that that companies are collaborating on an interline basis, having rolled out what it said is the first dedicated intermodal train. This train runs between Lázaro Cárdenas and the U.S. Midwest. CP officials said that the impetus for this train was driven by the need to avoid excessive delays “due to the unprecedented and ongoing supply chain challenges affecting North America's West Coast.” source https://www.supplychain247.com/article/cp_heralds_new_proof_of_concept_interline_service_in_partnership_with_kcs
