Diesel drops 15¢ nationally to $6.38 as crude hovers above $106 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On-highway diesel prices receded from historic highs last week. But Brent crude oil is again above $106 per barrel after several fluctuations this week as the war with Iran drags on.

Read excerpt
Transportation companies that specialize in trains or buses are not typically thought to maintain a fleet of trucks.
