What's Up? Not Our Transport Chain Prices

Hello {CustomerName},

Everything in trucking is getting more expensive... except your transport chains.

That's right.

We've lowered prices on our transport chains and load binders—because securing your load shouldn't cost more just because everything else does.

Here's what truckers are dealing with today:

⛽ Fuel

• Diesel is $5.31/gal today vs. $3.76 in 2024 (up 41%).
• That's $1.51 more per gallon in just the last year.
• One truck running 125,000 miles annually at 6.5 MPG now spends nearly $30,000 more on fuel every year.

🚚 Operating Costs

• It now costs a record $2.34 per mile just to operate a truck.
• Tolls are up 13.2%
• Maintenance is up 8.6%
• Tires are up 6.4%

📈 Insurance

• 56 consecutive quarters of premium increases.
• Commercial auto rates climbed another 10.4% and 8.8% in 2025.
• More than 135 jury verdicts over $10 million last year drove costs even higher.

So while everyone else seems determined to raise prices...

We went the other direction.

Whether you're replacing worn-out chains, adding equipment to your fleet, or stocking the shop, now's the perfect time to save.
