The signal
The U.S. national diesel average has increased for the first time in four weeks, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), though prices remain elevated. This reversal in the downward trend signals potential pressure on transportation costs across supply chains and may impact freight rates, last-mile delivery expenses, and overall logistics budgets for companies reliant on trucking and fuel-intensive operations.

Simulate the impact of sustained diesel price increases (5-10% over 30 days) on freight transportation costs, trucking margin compression, and total cost of ownership for supply chain operations dependent on road transport.
