MIDLAND -- Trucking companies are feeling the brunt of the high price of diesel.
Big 2 hit the streets to find exactly how truckers are dealing with the rising price of diesel fuel. One trucker we spoke with says he's had to pay as much as $4 a gallon for diesel.
"We've had to change a lot of our fuel stops due to the high price of fuel," one trucker told Big 2. "Limit the number of fuel stops."
Economic experts say that on average, trucking companies are currently paying 70 cents more for fuel than they did this time last year.
