Today at UGL, we celebrated two very special things. 💛

First, we celebrated Erin and her upcoming wedding — just 3 weeks away! We are so excited for her and this sweet season ahead.

We also celebrated Loren and her new adventures away from UGL. After nearly a decade with us, it’s hard to put into words how much she has meant to our team. We’ve appreciated her dedication and work ethic through the years, but even more than that, we’ve treasured her friendship.

While things will look a little different around here, this is not goodbye. It’s simply, “We’ll see ya!” 🤍

We love you, Loren, and we are cheering you on in this next chapter!

🚛Trucking Industry Updates🚛
Key Changes Impacting Freight & Fuel Costs

A new bill, S. 3917, introduced by Jim Banks, is moving through Congress. It’s called the Dalilah Law.

If passed, it would:

Stop states from issuing CDL licenses to non-U.S. citizens or unlawful residents

Require CDL tests to be given in English

Revoke certain existing CDL licenses

This effort is backed by the United States Department of Transportation and supported by major trucking groups.

Why This Matters

If fewer drivers are allowed on the road, trucking capacity could shrink fast.
When truck supply drops and demand stays high, freight rates rise.

Many experts warn this could push freight pricing above COVID-era levels.

⛽Fuel Prices Are Rising Too⛽

At the same time, global tensions involving Iran are shaking up oil markets.

One key concern is the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow shipping lane that carries about 20% of the world’s oil. Disruption there affects fuel prices here in the US.

What We’re Seeing:
Gas jumped over 10 cents per gallon in a single day
Oil prices are climbing toward $100 per barrel
Every $10 increase in crude oil typically adds about 24 cents per gallon at the pump

Higher fuel = higher freight rates.

Why This Matters
Freight is already moving up as we head into spring.

Here’s a real example:
A truckload of material in January cost $1,500
That same load is now costing $2,100
That $600 jump adds:
$0.10 per 72” stud
$0.32 per treated 2x4x12

And that’s just freight — not material increases.

When driver supply tightens and fuel rises, delivered costs follow quickly.

Let’s Stay Ahead of It

Freight changes can hit fast. Planning now can protect your margins.

If you’d like to review your freight outlook or talk through options, give us a call today. We’re here to help you stay prepared — not surprised.
