The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

FreightWaves recently had an article on the impact of rising diesel prices on the US transport sector, especially trucking and rail. An interesting side question is how the industry will pass these additional costs onto customers. Apparently, they don't all do it the same way.

Fortunately, BNSF is rolling out a new mileage-based fuel surcharge program this year.

Note: I'm pretty sure fuel savings helped BNSF's YOY performance in 2025. Will be interesting to see how they handle this.
