A string of trucking and freight companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September while at least eight transportation-related companies sought Chapter 11 protection during the month, according to bankruptcy documents reviewed by FOX Business. The filings come as the trucking industry faces mounting costs, including higher fuel and insurance expenses. President Donald Trump moved this week to provide truckers with relief from higher diesel costs, signing an executive order temporarily allowing red-dyed diesel normally reserved for off-road use to be used on highways. These rising costs have many people asking: How high will US diesel prices get this year? Kalshi’s prediction market shows a $6.70 forecast.
